"Blood for Oil" Suitcase, 2004 was made to be part of "Luggage Project" at Denver International airport, an airport known for its ambitious and original art exhibits. When invited to contribute one of the 40 suitcases to be displayed, I looked into my closet and pulled out an old luggage piece. it was a Swedish thing from the 50's, and I filled it with sky blue bricks and rubble which had already traveled with me to Istanbul for a previous show. On top of the bricks I put one big scoop of the oil and blood spill which happened to be still sitting like a huge splash on my studio floor. It was one week after the performance which had taken place in the studio on May 17: "Oil Spill at Rockefeller Center". Materials: bricks of plaster and pigment, spill of black and red lumpy paint. |
