Weather Shield For a Migrant Dwelling


PARTAPUR, INDIA. During the ten-day Sandarbh Artists Workshop on site-specific art in February 2009, I created a protective outer layer for the house of a migrant family. Composed of the inner foil lining of plastic wrappers, this covering reflects their immediate surroundings, and will continue to reflect any place which this family chooses to relocate. Friends who live in that town tell me they are still using it today.
