Mixed Media: LED strips, PVC, electronics and software • 100' x 20'
A site-specific light sculpture for select underwater environments.
Photographs from various street murals in San Francisco's Mission and Tenderloin districts are the images sources that drive the underwater color animations. The intent was to experience the juxtaposition of urban color palettes in a rural environment, as well as the juxtaposition of submerged electrical elements.
To date, there have been five installations: The East Walker River in Yerington Nevada (Summer 2014), two installations in the Elk Creek in Elk Creek, California (Spring 2017 and 2018), and two installations in the Truckee River in downtown Reno, Nevada (Autumn 2016 and 2017).
