"Great Gatsby" Époque Interior Re-Сreation

In rethinking the MTA system as an integrated object, it is defined as a network of stations identified by the immediate locale of each station. It becomes a structure of inter-related contemporary art objects permeating the system of tunnels and stations in accordance with the environmental cultural above ground.

The project creates a narrative for each art object, a collaboration with artists to build uninterrupted 24/7 communication between subway system passengers and the multidisciplinary cultural community. Images and sketches symbolize an initial presentation of the concept and may be altered considerably in response to practical realities.

My work and that of 17 other designers at the Showhouse for Heroes in Saddle River, NJ. I chose to do the entry hall because the double-height space required a bold approach. I have combined cubist elements with a variety of colors, textures and dimensions to create an art gallery for a sophisticated resident.
