Blé en herbe

City of Clichy Cooperative Nursery School | Clichy, France | 2007

This installation treats the windows in the Blé en herbe Nursery School as lighboxes. A sense of the time of day and time of year in colors throughout the space. The colored zones become spaces for play, observation and greetings.
