"COLUMBINE"
Not yet created     Packing tape, wall
Dimensions variable


This is a piece I'm eager to see installed.   Years ago I saw a graffiti artist who had "tagged" some construction site in Times Square with translucent scotch tape.   Looked at head on, you saw nothing.   Looked at at nighttime from the right angle, the non-reflective background disappeared into blackness and the tape glowed out the letters of his name: YITO.   

So it goes with the shooting at Columbine and kids' gun violence in general.   They slip away into the background until another shooting happens and then we can't see anything elst.

I would tape the letters of the word "COLUMBINE" on that gallery wall.   When viewed from one angle, it will appear there's nothing there.   From another, the letters will catch your eye with their reflective glow.
