Gateway

Mixed Media Participatory Installation: uniquly hand-dyed colors of yarn, paving stones from site, laser-cut acrylic labels.  (8/2014)

Gateway was created for the admissions building of Southern Vermont College.

Participants chose a color to represent them and wrap it first around statements about where they come from on the left wall.  They then pass it through the gateway and then wrap it around statements about their hopes and dreams for the future on the right wall. When they finish, they toss the remaining ball over a "horizon" wall which mimics the local mountains where is disappears.
