Astro-Turf USA. is a variable sized, mixed media, installation with video projection, kinetic hand-cut plexi-glass mirror, sound and scent.  This single source multi-sensory installation consists of a fast-cut (4 pictures per second} video projection of immigrant photos, both historical and contemporary edited to Chubby Checker's "Twist" and "Let's Twist Again" respectively.  Fifty hand-cut and painted plexi-glass mirrored US states suspended from the ceiling are projected upon resulting in fast-moving reflections and shadow play on floor, ceiling and walls.  In a addition to an original scent built from the spice blends of 5 international cuisines, we hang a 10' x 6' US map made of individually hand-cut Astro-Turf States (made of recycled bottles) sewn together with cotton string and a sculptural display of ethnically diverse local menus.
