Unveil

AIG | Houston, TX

2015 | Fabric | 280’ long x 55’ high

Unveil celebrates the ephemerality of the physical world by freezing a moment in time. This 280 foot “falling ribbon” is an annual holiday installation commissioned by AIG Houston, suspended within the building’s atrium, a well of natural light. It was constructed using high quality hand and machine-sewn fabric, nylon rope edging, and a covert infrastructure. Installed using a custom winch system hidden behind the architecture, this novel approach allowed for the form to be sculpted organically in space. In a playful way, Unveil brings awareness to the temporal things we often miss in the blink of an eye.
