California Pastoral at PMCA, California Design Biennial Show
Version of the California Pastoral installation created for the 2007 California Design Biennial at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. The vinyl graphic was installed on the entry doors to the show, with a video documenting the original work at United States Artists on display just inside the exhibit.
This digitally created, ASCII-like, 30' x 7' mural of vinyl text installed on a glass wall was originally commissioned by United States Artists for their offices. United States Artists is an organization created to identify and support American artists, providing around 50 fellowships yearly. California Pastoral creates a large-scale image of lush foliage out of 1/2" tall text abbreviations of the 50 states. The work provides a layer of privacy to the USA offices, as well as a dramatic backdrop to the front workspaces. The USA offices were designed by Pablo Maida Architect.
