The
ongoing work "No Native New Yorker" currently consists of
an automobile cover that has a hand embroidered 14-foot map of Manhattan
Island sewn into it. It is designed to be viewed over a vehicle, accompanied
by music and video documentation of he car in situe in a variety of
contrasting neighbour-hoods within Manhattan.
Two images of wild dogs dominate either tip of the
island operating as neighbourhood pack icons whilst echoing car hood
ornaments from the past.
Radiating from these points the map expands
road by road, vein by vein, the color mutating gradually from red of
the top of the island to blue down at the Wall Street area. |
