“Have it <strong>All</strong>,” 2010, vinyl sign, 24 x 48 inches.<br />

This sign in the window was part of a larger,<br />

site-specific installation titled “River View”<br />

that was created for the art exhibition,<br />

“Weaving In & Out.“<br />

“River View” installation in progress. “Weaving In & Out“ was<br />

a collaborative exhibition in a new green development in East<br />

Harlem called “Tapestry.“ The exhibit took over this raw ground<br />

floor space at 245 East 124th St. Curated by Jodie Dinapoli, Ella<br />

Levitt, Manon Slome of No Longer Empty with Trinidad Fombella<br />

from El Museo del Barrio.<br />

“River View” was derived from photographs found in<br />

local real estate listings. The appropriated images were<br />

enlarged, printed and mounted on board. A rug was<br />

made to look like the one in the photograph.<br />

I worked closely with interns from the organization No Longer<br />

Empty to realize aspects of the installation, “River View,” which<br />

included recreating a pattern by hand on a store-bought rug,<br />

installing signs and building floors.
