The Best Way Out is Always Through

Institution: Ball-Nogues Studio

Design Team: Benjamin Ball, Gaston Nogues

Role: Fabrication Intern - Installation Team

*Text From Principals

Our intent is for the artwork to unfold during the visitor’s passage by foot from their parking spot to the terminal; it is inherently linked to one’s journey. The artwork will be distributed through the light well as a series that increases in size as one moves towards the terminal. The piece will be made up of separate hanging forms that each seem to grow downward as an expansion on the previous form. The experience of the artwork will be similar to driving along a palm tree lined boulevard or landing on a runway. Each of the forms will visually come together to make a colonnade that crescendos or tapers, depending on the traveler's direction.

Intern role focused on fabrication techniques experimentation with composite materials like fiber glass rod, epoxy resin, and a postprocess to join each branch together on to a CNC-Cut Wooden Jig. Post production of pieces was then Sandblasted professionally. We post-processed on sandblasting site as well, by manually painting and coating the final pieces. I was also on installation team at the San Diego International Airport with Gaston Nogues, Reiko Wei, Noah Alexander and Richy Garcia.
