tickets

What started out as a pain reliever of parking tickets has turned into a full -on public art work.

For the past 2 years I have been steadily been collecting PT envelopes, and after creating a sun visor for my wind shield it's going further. I thought about transforming the bright orange envelopes into something soft and attractive, perhaps a large origami piece. OR configuring them into a type of double helix / nautilis shape (made from wire) placed on top of the car.

As far as collections others have been sending me their envelops now, but most of them are coming from the UPS. Initially I was gathering them from the street. I thought of the person who threw them on the ground out of frustration of living in the city. another way to give the finger ...a private declaration of "Fuck You". Many people throw the tickets and the envelopes out. Its such a commonality in NYC, something that feels very hard and cynical like the city itself.
