Everything Becomes Nothing - an illustrated canopy for FGCU, Florida Gold Coast University.

Everything Becomes Nothing - explores the experience of navigating through a lifetime of imagery, absorbing the illustrated information we encounter, and reconstructing the fragments of our collective memory. The result is a cacophony of visual noise and feelings of nostalgia. Consisting of hundreds of feet of material stretched over the Arts Complex courtyard of FGCU, the overhead installation creates a mélange of imagery cropped from vintage Florida fruit and vegetable crate labels that were once a prominent staple of advertising but are now a nonexistent art form with archival importance. Additionally, the displayed imagery relates to the University's location in an area where farms used to grow the nation’s produce.
