“Often, art is seen as something for the elite,” said Burton. “I knew I wanted to do something that felt big and that would stand out from the rest of the area.” Burton’s bright blue oasis provides color to the gray, dull setting of Hearst Plaza, comparable to Espii’s blue frames. “adrift: the bayou project” is a multilayered, multi-dimensional exhibit surrounded by the story of spirits from decades ago in search of home and separated families. This interactive audio work has three blue frames serving as the main physical component, and a component which consists of digital newspaper letters from the post-Reconstruction Era.Ebony M.
Espii’s fascination with how people walk around, unaware of liminal space, is a contributing factor to this artwork. “Those that are curious to activate and be able to see the stories and to listen, that’s how we access that space in between,” said Espii. The aspect of sound was equally essential to Burton as her seven pieces for “Ultramarine” all have accompanying soundscapes via QR codes. She worked with a composer who was familiar with her art and who understood her vision.
