Harvest Moon, New York World Fair, 1964
2015 - 2017
Mixed media: Marbling ink, Indian ink, archival drawing, rubber sheet, selection of ready made objects in brass, silver and bronze.
Marbling ink overlaid on a series of archival technical drawings for the roof of the 'Transportation and Travel Pavilion', New York World Fair, 1964. The pavilion designed by Clive Entwistle was articulated by its large spherical roof, imagined as a representation of the moons surface replete with craters and texture.
Concurrently to designing this project C.E was drafting a screenplay entitled 'Harvest Moon', which explored, through the narrative guise of a love story, druidic imagery and mythologies of the Harvest Moon.
The artist has overlaid blooms of marbled ink, partially submerging the original drawing. Using inks in the colour palette of the original drawings for the marbled patterns. Marbling paper was once used to prevent forgery and erasure. The process is random and patterns can neither be controlled or reproduced. When applied to these architectural carbon copies each becomes a unique un-reproducible object.
