Overview
I’ve always been fascinated with symbols and the sacred meaning of things. The inspiration for this installation “The Mines Eye”, is based on the concept of a Kaleidoscope. The angles of these mirrors within the scope allow the viewer to see the tumbling colored glass rise and fall into endless shapes of newness and beauty. The perfect representation of life itself.
Goals
My goal, to create a Large out door interactive Kaleidoscope. Unconventional and non- traditional of course. This Kaleidoscope is constructed with reusable bicycle parts. Frames, rims, handle bars and more, much more. However, the actual colored glass that is traditionally encased within the tube exist externally for this project and attached to the spokes of bicycle rims.
Process
This interactive installation was created in collaboration with the Urban Collaborative Project the San Diego Foundation Creative Catalyst Grant, with students associated with the ARTS, A Reason to Survive. The project titled The Mines Eye will be installed in South east San Diego
