Site 5: Elizabeth Gahan Seattle, Washington http://www.elizabethgahan.com/ "Tree Pods" “Tree Pods” created for Carkeek Park, is also part of an ongoing series called “Synthetic Growths” in which I use corrugated plastic and found print advertising to create installations informed by both urban and natural environments. Carkeek Park is a beautiful preserve nestled within a larger sprawling city. For this location, I imagine these synthetic materials taking on the form of hives or seed pods which exist in nature but also have an architectural form. Constructed from corrugated plastic and recycled materials otherwise used for advertising, packaging and building models, these plastic materials reference the built environment. The ads are fractured and content obscured allowing the beauty of color and graphic design to blossom, while the number of pods populating the trees implies the potential to grow and multiply of their own accord blurring the line between what is "natural” and "unnatural.”
