Development, sited at Baltimore Clayworks, denies the
context of the gallery by framing out the space with plywood
and 2x4s. This denial mimics the tendency of developers to
construct new projects without taking into consideration the
ethos of a neighborhood. The viewer enters this
representation of a construction site observing both a
cityscape in miniature and a series of bollards. The
cityscape is located on a work table, inviting the viewer to
be their own urban planner navigating issues of red lining
and eminent domain. The bollards are placed on top of
deconstructed pallets including the development projects of
inner city harbors in the master plan of cities.
