Branding Project #2: the island holds a press conference
9 fire-branded tree stumps
at Fort Jay, Governors Island, NY
2011
dimensions variable
Project #2 uses 9 stumps running in a line along the southwest corner of Fort Jay.
The island, a former military base being converted into a public park, is given a voice and in a moment of self reflection, cites the mysterious qualities setting it apart from the city while acknowledging the changes afoot that will inevitably transform it.
The final image are rubbings from the stumps used to create preparatory layouts.
