So, the non-profit I work with had the opportunity to do a Creative-in-Residence at the Denver Art Museum.
The theme was voting and I was asked to make something that offered an interactive, reasonable way to assess things the general public wants (schools, parks, roads, etc) against the money it costs. I came up with the system of individual bean bags for each “thing”, as well as bags of money that represented different types of “taxes” for the control.
I designed a giant, fully-functional wooden scale complete with bean bags for each side. Each bean bag was also crafted with my own two hands!
Here you can see Miss Blue enjoying my first piece of art in a real art museum!
In front of the perfectly balanced balance!
Yay mum!
