Neon blacklight art installation with colorful furniture, owl artwork, turntable, and patterned walls

Neon Dream Container

Boston, MA

2017

We collaborated with artists Helen Popinchalk, Morgan Grenier, Jay LaCouture of Anti Designs and Cyrille Conan on the Neon Dream installation art container for HUBweek in downtown Boston. Everything was handmade by the four of us and made from fluorescent paper, paint, clay, vinyl or ink to achieve the neon effect under black light. For my part of the container, I created a black light scorpion terrarium from an old TV set, with a real live scorpion inside! Scorpions fluoresce under black light and we included a miniature scale of the shipping container inside the TV set as well. I also painted the exterior of the container in neon colors. The installation was a success and traveled to downtown Salem, MA after HUBweek.
