Eco Citizen Window Display
Back in October 2007, i was asked to do a window display for this Boutique called Eco Citizen, in San Fransico. This was an amazingly perfect opportunity because i was working on building large layered Art Piece. The theme was "People and Places of the world" and Joslin, the ower of Eco Citizen, gave me a few images of Chagall's "Flying Lovers" as inspiration. Also since the store is Eco-Friendly store i built the whole display out of recycled cardboard. This being my first project that was double sided it took me a little while to figure it out. I hand cut over 120 layers of cardboard to shape the hills. My concept for it was from the out side of the store, the viewer, is on the other side of the world, and as you come into the store you are in the heart of San Fransico. The Monuments start at the Great wall of China, then to Saint Basil's Cathedral, over the hill is Eiffel tower, and lastly on the other side of the display is The Golden Gate Bridge. The final display sizes is H: 6ft W: 9ft and 3ft deep. enjoy.
this is my concept sketch for the display.
Below are some Close up of the monuments in the display.
Below are pictures from in side the store.
