'Air Drops' , City of Houston 2005 9 Ft. H x 62 Ft. L

Bush Intercontinental Airport, Federal Inspection Services Terminal
Project Budget: $300,000 All Inclusive   Resin, Film on Acrylic Panels Handmade Interior Wall

This commission for Houston's Intercontinental Airport required extensive integration into the architect's design. "Air Drops" playfully refers to Houston's famous humidity. The liquid colors and resin patterns give the invisible air a physical dimension that expresses how it really feels. Visitors and residents of Houston are always aware of the intense humidity, especially during the summer months when the air seems to have weight and texture. Passengers arriving at the airport have to adjust quickly when they step outside the air conditioned boundary of the terminal. My resin wall expresses this experience in transparency and pattern. The handmade panels are encased in custom Architectural Glass that I designed. I personally fabricated the resin Panels and was responsible for all aspects of installation and lighting.
