The Glowing Homeless, 2011, neon light, 73in x 14.5in x 10in
Public Art event organized by Bring to Light NYC (Nuit Blanche), in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The Glowing Homeless is a neon outline of a human form resting on a park bench. Representing the homeless person sound asleep amongst the park’s crowds, through a rendering of neon light, I created an alluring object for Bring to Light NYC. Through my implementation of attractive materials, I reversed the normal reaction of avoidance, and drew people towards the form on the bench.
