LIMINAL, 2022 | TERMINAL 1, GATE 17, MSP INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA. ARTS@MSP, MSP AIRPORT FOUNDATION - public art
An architectural separation exists between the intimate space of the restrooms and the long side corridor that connects the gates to leisure areas. Minnesota’s luscious and mesmerizing landscape inspires the mind to reveal what is contained beneath the subsoil; the passage of time in layers unseen to the eye. These deep sediments, the space, a build-up over years of evolution, and nature’s forces working upon matter display a colorful fabric, a space that holds us. Awareness comes from the relationship an individual establishes with themselves, the environment, and one another.
In this piece, Time is not just perceived as cyclical; it is also represented as an itinerary, a route, a line that defines migratory paths, as nodes connecting transitions, progressions, and liminal spaces within evolution. The compositions stem from the area’s topography, geological data, and natural surroundings. Lines and nodes interweave with small vignettes reminiscent of old postcards from the location, blending the past with the present.
