The Mead Building, Portland, Oregon, 2002
Motorized draperies made from high performance athletic textiles
10' x 20' x 8'
The idea of change is central to this work. This project consists of five layers of motorized draperies displayed in a storefront window. These moving curtains create different tableaus as they change and recombine. The piece addresses the street as a shifting display, and functions as a mutable piece of interior decorating within the building. The Mead Building is a parole office located in a retail area on the bus mall in downtown Portland.
