"Step and Repeat" at Summit Artspace Gallery

Day one of set up

Day two

Final piece (seventh day)

“Step and Repeat”:  The action of having celebrities step onto the red carpet, pose for photographers and leave while the next person or persons follow and "repeat" the process.    

My piece is one of 15 ephemeral sculpture pieces in the "37 DAYS " show at the Summit Artspace GAllery in downtown Akron, OH. The show runs through November 4, 2012

 
This piece looks at our “perhaps” unbalanced pre-occupation with
celebrity and the trend of ordinary or untrained people seeking celebrity
status through reality television.


The five suggested figures are actually  five single pieces of uncut  fabric, approx. 5-6 yard lengths, pinned stapled and manipulated into shapes simulating persons posing for “step and repeat” photos.  The fabric will return to its original shape at the conclusion of the show.
