Overview

Philosophical public art commissioned by the City of Palm Springs to represent the process of change. This piece serves to reflect changes occurring in the community as a form of internal community catharsis, and for visitors as an introspective reflection. The piece is 5’x11’x1/4″ powder coated steel.

Goals

The project was a public art commission, privately requested, by the city of Palm Springs. The only conceptual guidance was to represent the "Change" occurring in the city. I accomplished the city's goal, and my own, by combining the concept of change, with a deeper philosophical review of the fundamental process of change and an even more opaque critique on the existence of change as a human construct.

Process

I worked directly with the city Public Arts Commission and several of the city agencies that had stake in the project and install site.
