Always fun when someone else takes the time to photograph your artwork. Images by Jane DiCampo, JWD Photography. You can visit both my show and two more exhibits - one by Ria Unson and one about the history of black children's literature - both across the aisle from mine - at the airport super easily. Park in short-term next to terminal 1 for the St. Louis International Airport. Yellow level section A is on the closest to the door, and on the same level as the exhibits. Enter door 11. The show is free. Parking is $5. @_jwd_photography @riaunsonart

This is one of my favorite prints and the one that got me started on all of this. Basically I was in the studio and setting a bunch of plastic on top of a light table. I loved the way each part glowed. This is a combination of nine different images and therefore it can be as small as a 5" x 5" in print and as large as a 3' x 3' print!

When I was thinking of twisting the 16 ft long panel for the airport installation, I was thinking about exhibiting it like this piece, which is one of the art prints I sell in order to help offset the cost for my large installation work. We were able to light the airport show (see previous posts ) so that the 16' work looks like it's floating in water. I've always thought of this piece the same way.

It's fun to install art where people can literally see the behind the scenes action and all the work that goes into making an exhibit sing. I'm so thrilled to live and work in a city that has a rich and deep history of supporting the arts. So many people work behind the scenes to bring art to the public. Thank you @merimck, who helps run the Lambert Art and Culture program with @flystl, all the gala supporters and grant makers including @stlouisarts, and of course, the hard-working airport personnel, many of whom I got to know during the installation. A very special thanks to the incredible installation team who spent 2 days working with me to hang the work and set the lights. Thank you @dwyerpbrown, @repiceeric @moirasmoth and @madgreen.art for your extended practice of caring and supporting others. It takes a village. Sea Change is on display at the St. Louis Lambert International Airport, Terminal 1, Door 11 through May, 2025. #publicart #plasticparadise #contemporaryart #crew #artinstallers #thankful #stlmade #stlairport #stlartist

Part of what I really love about planning a site-specific work is deeply thinking about the audience and how they use the space. For the show at the St. Louis Lambert International Airport, I studied the exhibitions of previous artists, both in person and by photograph. I noted how people moved through the space. I researched window design. I experimented at my own studio by hanging similar work in my window. I am so pleased that all of this research paid off in that I was able to create a color and perceptual shift as viewers walk by. It is such a pleasure to be on site and see busy travelers not only turn their heads as they walk by but get out their cameras and take pictures. Thanks so much to the airport for this opportunity. The show will be up through May. It is in terminal 1 at door 11. I'd love to hear your comments as you see it in person!

I am so pleased to announce that 3 years of hard work has paid off with a large scale exhibition of my work at the St. Louis Lambert International Airport. I love how happy this work seems to make people. I deeply appreciate how so many travelers and airport personnel have thanked me for the show even though it's only been up for a short time.  It's important to me to say that this was a community effort. The thousands and thousands and thousands of bottle caps it took to make this piece all came from the community. Some people diligently saved up their caps and dropped them off at my studio every few months. Some gathered together to collect caps. Others mailed them to me from across the country. Close friends bring me handfuls of caps just about each time they see me.  That kind of goodwill adds up. People banning together to do something good. People giving of themselves to make something beautiful. In this world of confusing times and potential darkness, I hope we continue to remember those ideals. I for one will keep working hard to celebrate hope and choosing good. #plasticpollution #contemporaryart #plasticparadise #goodvibes #stlartist #cleanwater #community #goodwill #publicart #holidaytravel

This Wednesday I install my show at the airport. This weekend I found time to play while I got the completed works ready to go. Not sure if this piece will be the final way I show it, but I'm loving it for now!

I'm back from North Carolina, where I visited my parents. Luckily they live about an hour from where hurricane Helene hit. They noted that bread trucks, clothing and furniture are being sent to Asheville, which is still reeling from the devastation. Although it's November 1st, I'm continuing to post this series to help raise money for the hurricane victims. What I love about these images are how many iterations they produce just by turning the print. I also love how old school they look. I achieved the effect with a combination of lighting and mirrors so that the plastic was reflected back at itself. Reflections, being turned upside down, landing on your feet with help from others. To purchase any of these prints, just go to my website, adrienneoutlaw.com.

Two more prints released! I made the first one by drilling holes in a dishwasher detergent container. The second one always reminds me of Ukraine. The first one is a 5 x 5 print. The second one is 6 x 9 in. They are limited edition, and selling prints. As with all prints released this October, the proceeds go to help the victims of hurricane Helene in North Carolina. To purchase, visit adrienneoutlaw.com. #plastic #contemporaryart #artprint
