Joe Dal Pra Installation Project:
Title: hold / collapse
Description: intertwining of linear structures into curving form. Structures are holding silhouettes of figures, planes, and parts.
Materials: wood and steel.
Size: variable dimensions (max 96" x 240" x 240")
The images of fragmented pieces of technology are held by truss like structures. The structures are trying to piece something back together that has come apart with a method that is slow and divided. Interwoven are wooden structures holding distorted silhouettes of aircraft moving through the sky. The silhouettes are braced up in to the air by frail pine wood structures. The silhouettes of figures are held up like road signs. The surfaces of the larger figures are worn and held by rusting structures. There is information in the figures that makes them identifiable, but also, incompleteness. The figures have surfaces that have been worked over. Paint is worn off, scratched and abraded surfaces show repeated history of covering and uncovering. The images are set to see contrasts and connections between them.
