Greenroom

 

1998

 

collaboration with Warren Quigley

 

Designed for a small park set in the thick of a large urban centre’s downtown zone, this installation plays with notions of public and private space through the displacement of the most public room in a domestic setting – the living room. The varying hues of green pigmenting the furnishings imitate vegetative outcroppings and also launch a subtle critique on the suspect ‘greening’ (i.e. pseudo ecological) trend of cultivators of taste.
