Mount Hood is a picturesque mountain near Portland (Oregon, USA), the pride of the region and a place of pilgrimage for numerous tourists. Portland Paper City's hometown paper art exhibition highlights the original installation by Marisa Green and Peter Bogart. Hanging in the air, paper pyramids all together form a local landmark - Mount Hood.
Although it would seem that it is useless for mountains to fly in the air, the authors of the installation decided to hang paper pyramids from the ceiling. After all, the beautiful Mount Hood itself soars regal over Portland, and no one looks down on her. Let, Marisa Green and Peter Bogart decided, the visitors of the exhibition admire the artificial mountain as well as the real one - raising their heads and gazing up in delight.
Fragile pyramids - bricks of paper art - hang on a thin fishing line - and it seems that streams of spring rain are pouring down the mountain. And the clouds of heaven, caught by the author of one of the photographs, only strengthen this impression. It seems that a thunderstorm will wash over the mountain, and a pleasant freshness will spread in the air, and the paper pyramids at the base of the beautiful mountain will turn green even brighter.
The authors of the unpretentious but impressive installation fiddled with paper and scissors. Marisa Green and Peter Bogart glued together almost a thousand paper pyramids, not only perpetuating (although paper art does not last long) the majestic Mount Hood, but also expressing their love for their hometown.
Simple materials and minimal artistic means often create unexpected artistic effects. Proof of this are the installations made from plastic bags by Robert Janson, and the white cloud of balloons by Mark Reigelmen, and the project by Marisa Green and Peter Bogart.
