Wall, Levy, Beach (Maneuver)
2018-2019

Sculpture
30” x 20” x1200”

20,000 lbs of sand, textiles, mylar


Responding to the current political landscape and climate projections, Wall, Levy, Beach (Maneuver) began as a low dividing wall, and, through public participation in Resilience Training, was transformed then into a levee section, and finally, a beach. The title refers to verbs describing political tactics.

 Exhibited at Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens New York, September 2018-March 2019
