The Stop Night Market      


[C]art is an installation of layering and exposing the outer shell; a porous situation of half inch OSB cages a visually light and suspended cocoon. Although the outer shell suggests a monolithic and amoebic behavior, the fabric cocoon on the inside offers a stark contrast. While various openings on the outermost surface of the wooden frame expose the fabric cocoon within, the clear acrylic counter top provides an uninterrupted view of the cocoon. The openings offer some relief to the unrelenting layering of the horizontal OSB rings. Only objects and food are displayed on the clear acrylic counter top, creating a visual illusion of suspension, establishing the food as the focal point. As the day turns to night, the lights hidden inside the cocoon illuminates, furthering its astronomy and accentuating the stark contrast of the solid and void striation of the OSB cage.
