These funky patio umbrellas were made as part of Summercamp’s ProjectProject’s Fall Residency II: Welcome in partnership with Side Street Projects. As one of seven resident artists, our mission was to turn Side Street’s current lot in North Pasadena into a space that welcomed the community of Northwest Pasadena. The goal was for everyone in the community to engage in the active process of experiencing evolving collaborative site-specific works. I had the opportunity to make three umbrellas with all three concrete/burlap bases made by artist Chris Oatey.
