Monument to Change

Usually, monuments memorialize past events. I wanted to create the opposite of that–a monument that looks to the future and celebrates the ongoing process of change. This is a kinetic piece in constant motion. Over the course of an entire day, you never see the same compositional moment twice. Commissioned by Stanford University as a permanent installation.

Monument to Change 1,048 modules each with 81 custom colors silkscreened onto polycarbonate flaps, steel armatures & cables, 30’ x 75’ x 6″, 2014
