TTT (Trump Tower Tessellating)


Pattern Making
Screen Print
 Public Installation
Political Commentary


TTT utilizes the in-between space of an elevator, a rare moment of forced pause in which people are forced to wait, and confront.

The hand-drawn pattern reproduces the carpet design from the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.; the fragility of the paper draws attention to the facade of class hidden beneath intricate gold designs.

Taped to the walls, the paper will inevitably degrade, ripping, peeling, and crumpling with each ride up and down through daily use. The work calls attention to those who have a higher status, residing on higher floors. The higher one goes, the longer the confrontation.

The gradual decay of the image serves as a hopeful metaphor for the collapse of poisonous systems and ideologies.
