PORTRAIT OF PAMELA
silica sand and natural color sand, 12' x 20' x 26" "Market Street Project," Robert Irwin Studio, Venice CA, 1971
This installation and its title were inspired by Robert Irwin's collection of moths/butterflies in his studio, as well as the terrarium collection of moths kept by Pamela, a scientist acquaintance. After this installation, Connie decided not to create patterns of color on top of the white sand, but to focus on the structure of the material itself.
