Holymoley Land

September – October, 2006 / Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Pittsburgh, PA

Insulation foam, chipboard

In Holymoley Land, Kim Beck presents a monumental installation made with silhouetted cutouts of road-side signs, highway pylons, parking lot trees were layered floor to ceiling, all laser cut from pink insulation foam. In some areas, the manufacturer's imprint as fragments of red text appears adding visual depth and information about the origin of the glowing dystopian vision of a city rendered fully in advertising structure and signage. The foam tapered into an edging of burnt-edged chipboard constructions.
