Monument to Change
Usually, monuments memorialize past events. I wanted to create the opposite of that–a monument that looks to the future and celebrates the ongoing process of change. Over the course of an entire day, you never see the same compositional moment twice. Commissioned by Stanford University as a permanent installation.
“The crowd standing in front of the wall-sized artwork looked mesmerized. For a split second, the 32-foot-long piece resembled an abstract painting by Ellsworth Kelly or another artist who works with grids of color. But it didn’t stay that way for long. Changing constantly, it plays more like a movie that’s about movement itself, generating suspense by developing and disrupting patterns of color.”
