This was a project I did for The Joan Mitchell Foundation in Partnership with St. Nicks Student Youth Employment Program. Everything in this piece was designed from proposal, size of stripes, color and size to the final installation. Students were able to make decisions based on budget, practicality and over all sincerity to how they defined a site specific piece of art and the realities of hard work as laying vinyl in this fashion is hard painstaking work. The vines were based on their drawings. I adapted their drawings to a lesson by giving them the challenge to go from a Point A in the space to a Point B using the sizes and colors they chose. The students were broken into teams of 3 with one leader laying down the first color in the green swatch you see. Each other student in the team led down the successive colors of green. Changes in the vines direction were encouraged but were advised lead to more work and decision making leaving the path of the vine up to the team to decide. Some students wanted more of a challenge than others, but the only the vines can tell that story.
