Inside are two separate sets of stairs with railings.

Impending plans to redevelop the building is a circumstance that parallels the concept of this work.

Transience and Resistance is an installation that investigates transitional dwellings that once housed life and now evoke futility. This is part of a long-term investigation into abandoned living structures that represent decay. In this work, I am studying how erosion wipes away the layers of utility and rational logic, and pushes a structure into the realm of uselessness, nostalgia, and melancholy. This installation attempts to engage the viewer through a heightened sense of interiority and tactile intimacy.

Free - Wooden Art Crates

I have 2 crates that were made by the AGO for a show of mine. They're wood, 22" W. x 27" H. x 32" L. They're fully sealed and the tops are secured by heavy-duty twist locks. They are also fully lined & padded. The worst thing about them is that they're heavy. The best thing is that they're virtually indestructible.

I no longer need them and am wondering if they might be useful to MPA or possibly one of the other members?

Oh - and the other good thing is, they're free. First come, first served.

Cheers,

Richard
