Momo’s Dirty 30th Birthday Party

At BLINK 2022 I met a woman who was eagerly anticipating her 30th birthday party and asked if I’d be interested in being involved. The event was held at an old church in Cincinnati where I ended up creating a spider web using neon and patterned yarn above the upstairs “cuddle puddle.” Here, attendees were invited to sprawl and get comfortable with a variety of cushions and pillows as the main event continued below.

As an added feature in addition to the cuddle puddle yarn was also strung around the spiral staircase in the main room which led to an off-limits room upstairs, acting as an aesthetic barrier.

The event was interesting and eclectic, with a variety show of performances, guided meditations, poets, and musical guests. From my perspective it was interesting to create a smaller-budget installation using a very limited environment with minimal attachment points available, even if the forms were not particularly groundbreaking.

Event was held in the beginning of December 2022.
