Disaster Area: Hurricane Sandy
Item
Title
Disaster Area: Hurricane Sandy
Description
A complex assemblage that consists of a large rectangle of corrugated sheet metal upon which is painted in black and yellow outline a labelled map of states along the East Coast from North Carolina to Maine. The sheet is elevated on multiple layers of bricks and concrete blocks covered with hay and it rests on a vertically positioned wire box spring. A long piece of wood juts out from the springs towards the viewer, and flexible PVC pipes are looped and twisted throughout. Two poles reach towards the skies, both topped with crutches, one topped with a hubcap. Two rectangles of plywood rest nearby, their yellow lettering now faded and indiscernible.
