Power of Place Proposal

I am inspired by female artists, such as Eva Hesse and Carrie Moyer for the way they stretch their materials, and create layered compositions. Using acrylic paint, I will fill the space with repetitive lines that overlap. The floors will also be incorporated using the same line work. The importance of this line work is to create an overwhelming experience for the viewer to engage with. I have included images of the space before and after the installation. I have also included the color palette that will be used. 

Historical Installation

Location: Palm Garden
Sharpie on fabric

Inspired by the history of the use of the Palm Garden during Henry Flagler's time, I created a drawing using a tablecloth. Dinner parties were hosted in the Palm Garden often. I created a map-like illustration, combining elements such as hats and other clothing items with serving ware (tea cups) to speak on the guests and their interactions with the workers. The dotted lines represent the different paths the guests and workers followed. I used a pink marker to represent the workers, and black line for the guests.
