Paola Pivi - Description

WYSIWYG default value

Paola is interested in adding to Benjamin Franklin Parkway’s interest in

architecture. The beauty and diversity of buildings intrigued her. She

also felt that there were gaps between buildings and wanted to fill one

gap temporarily with her artwork.

All four sides of the structure and the roof would be made of

transparent materials – either tempered glass or plexiglas. She hopes

that in the loca-on she has proposed, pedestrians and drivers could see

through the structure. However, if the location is an issue another one

could be found. The large box like form would be divided into grids.

Figura-ve forms would be randomly resting in a few spaces. They will

be made of opaque resin and have a white or pale yellow color.

Paola would like these figures to represent the spirit of Philadelphia.

The cycle of light for the individual figures should represent eternal

time. They are individuals in the day but become a collective experience

or sense of community when lit at night because in tandem they fill the

en-re chamber with a glowing quality.
