Lunchtime Conversations, J-Steps, and Martin Puryear, 2007 Dimensions 10' L x 6' W x 8' H

This work was a question into Styrofoam's whiteness (convenience), artificiality (efficiency), and structure (strength). My parameters were to use CFC free Styrofoam cups with cross-linked polyethylene foam, taken from their respective forms - cups and sheets.

In taking apart and re-arranging these elements, places of discussion and observation were revealed. Intended to evolve into a dialogue between viewer-and-object and viewer-and-space, the work stands as its own state of being and evidence of doing.
