This new 25 foot long, site-specific wall installation was created specifically for BAC Gallery. A seemingly mundane object, a potted plant, initiates a series of chain reactions that travel down the length of the gallery wall. Along the way, collections of objects collide, creating visual puns that are a whimsical play on each object’s intended function.

Rather than attempting to create a large scale kinetic installation, Mak uses commonly found everyday household objects to weave a complex directional, wall-sized collage where carefully chosen formal elements dictate the topsy-turvy, yet strangely logical, sequence. Six-pack rings and garden hoses find their way into the work, becoming critical junctions in this long wall installation.
