ART 195 ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS
How I spent my summer - Part 3

After the tragedy of project 2, I was eager and psyched to get on with the third effort, which was to be site specific. I had selected my medium...colored sand...and had, I thought found the image I wanted to use... a picture of Hannah....
The Hannah picture was not able to happen, because I couldn't find a good place to do it without it being in peril of being driven on, or just generally worn upon... So, I decided to work on an idea called Bike Trails. The idea was to symbolize in sand the travels of bicycles, and to explore that idea in a bunch of different ways....first was bikes parked...

Another was a bike accident...
Then, some studies for potential tread designs (not included in the final project)...
And finally, a flourish of a parking job...
There were numerous other tests, and images, and other doings... the project consumed me for a week. I really enjoyed doing the work, and wasn't terribly bothered when they blew or were rained away. This was the project I was personally most satisfied with, and feel optimistic that I will continue with these works.
