Artist Statement
A ballroom is staged as a structural underbelly of the overpass. The heavy rectilinear vertical columns, and the floating sea of diamonds that shimmer and shake overhead define the SPACE of the ballroom. This “sea” reacts to the movement of air, the vibrations of the cars on the overpass, and the activity of visitors below.
