detail shot where the B ,D, F lines come into atlantic pacific, meeting the 4 ,5 2 ,3 and the G come near . This piece was part of the show "NYNYNY so nice we named it trice" at Flux Factory artist coperative gallery space in Long Island Queens. Artists were invited to reinterpret aspects of the 5 boroughs of N.Y.C. using the 1960's worlds fair scale model, at the Queens museum as inspiration.
I chose the subway because it is a vital part of life in the city and because I could challenge the possibility of my useage of the ubiquitous water bottle dominating american and other cultures.

A continuing exploration of the plastic bottle containers that have replaced glass, for better or worst they dominate our life like the paper cup of the mid century, the waxed and foam drink cups of the 1970' and 80's or the old McDonalds Big Mac boxes. These items we relate to almost every day , so I chose these as my source material over wood steel or brick, the material of previous generations of artists.
