Art Against the Wall, Brownsville, Texas


Funerary Wreath Target  (10′ x’10’ x 8″), 2009
I made this large-scale funerary wreath to address all of the loss that takes place at the U.S. Mexico Border. It is constructed out of materials traditionally used for funerary wreaths in the Brownsville, Texas and Matamoros, Mexico area. The Wreath Target was placed on the wall in Alice Wilson Hope Park in Brownsville, Texas on February 26. Hope Park is also marked with an historical marker as the beginning of the Chisholm Trail and is an overlook for the Gateway International Bridge.

The two photos above are of Hope Park before the Border Fence was built.

Horizon Line

Horizon Line
A City Plaza Public Art Project created by
Susan Harbage Page and Juan Logan in collaboration with Peter Egan

“Horizon Line”, a public art project, employs cutting-edge light technology to create two colorful, imaginative spaces for pedestrians entering and exiting City Plaza. Designed by Chapel Hill artists, Susan Harbage Page and Juan Logan in collaboration with Peter Egan, the installation of LED lighting panels conceals unsightly electrical utility equipment adjacent to the BB&T and Bank of America buildings on Raleigh’s downtown City Plaza. Horizon line’s three hour light exhibition is based on abstracted horizon lines found in North Carolina. The LED’s offer a full spectrum of colors and forms which change and shift over time.
