Wayfinding
Lambert International Airport, Terminal 2, St. Louis, MO
March 2019 —  2020
​

Wayfinding signage directs someone to a destination; it keeps one moving towards something specific. This solo exhibition, Wayfinding, created for Terminal 2 through the Lambert Art & Culture program, uses fragmented language for indirect communication and navigation. It includes seven wall pieces, one free-standing tower, and one large site-specific piece created specifically for the airport context. 
 
You Call It A Cloud: Ascent extends the functional language found on commercial signage into the poetic. The word and media collage incorporates word fragments taken from the Cloud Series poems by St. Louis poet Stephanie Schlaifer. The metallic vinyl shimmers ethereally as it reflects the active environment around it, with language that moves across the stark, cloud-like form..
