Progression Grid

Progression Grid is a graphic mural intended to explore the elements of change brought by development and the passing of time. In reference to the city that surrounds it, abstracted images culminate to describe elements of expansion, inclusion, and evolution as brought by both cultural and natural efforts.

The three panels act as a triptych, and can be read sequentially from either direction or as a complete single image. Each panel is broken up into a grid of cells and painted with symbols and patterns compiled of interpretive symbols (arrows, stone, leaves, steel infrastructure, folded fabric, etc.) to describe the flow of time and the archaeological settling of material.

 

The piece was on view throughout Sound Transit's Light Rail Station construction on Brooklyn Ave NE and 43rd street in the University District of Seattle, USA. It was on view from 2015 - 2018.
