90 days over 100
Within the highly constructed desert environment, 90 Days Over 100 ̊ aimed to alert visitors to the perceptual and phenomenological presence of water and energy.
The form of the wood structure
was designed to allow visitors to experience the temporal and physical properties of water as it changed from a solid into liquid.
Light intensity, humidity, and air temperature
evolved as the ice melted from above, resulting in rivulets of water pulsing down the walls and pooling in the basins below.
The installation presented a temporary orchestration of
thawing ice and channeled sunlight
within the context of the museum space over one summer at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, where the temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees for over 90 days.
