An example of an object with 'value added' ... or not? or a lot? what do you think?

excerpts from the project proposal ... I would like to use the existing architectural features of the building to create a series of site-specific installation works that use existing natural light as the primary medium. The pieces themselves are essentially drawings, but rather than physical marks such as graphite or ink, each mark is a pinhole camera that absorbs all the colors, shapes, and movement of the environment outside of the building and multiplies it hundreds of times. The panels themselves are constructed out of thin perforated (drawn on) plywood, solid wood framing, and a translucent material, (either duralar or digital projection screen). The design of the drawing will consist of gently contouring lines taken from the curves of the Willamette River as it winds through the Willamette Valley. In many ways the river is the most prominent natural feature of the area. It has always been an integral part of the region, and it is also constantly in motion just as the installation will be.

Also, see the photo of Michael's installation under the blog entry for the opening reception, that will give you an overview of one of the rooms . Two of the images below are of additional works.

excerpts from project proposal ... upstairs in the PS II space one sees four large arched windows facing east. They are reminiscent of the three large recessed arches upstairs in Dr. Barnes’ museum in greater Philadelphia, where he commissioned Matisse to paint a flowing mural, “Dance”. I aim to use these windows, these associations, recycled materials and bold simple colors to commemorate one of our local natural scenes: Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge south of Salem. Although I don’t usually create art solely from recycled materials, I will be challenging myself to complete this landscape using only layers of colored plastic bags and painter’s tape. Light will shine through the transparent plastic and echo the effect of stained glass in Gothic cathedrals. In all of my landscapes I seek to bring people, nature and art together. This will be an extension of that, with the additional awareness of the importance of reusing our resources and protecting our local wild areas.
