Taking Flight is a pop-up art installation and working studio by local artists Deborah Jones and Lara Whitley, who work in collage, sculpture, and painting. Partnering with Willits Town Center, the artists have moved into an empty storefront from April 14 > May 20, with the promise to temporarily revitalize the space with art. Over its five-week run, Taking Flight will continually evolve and expand, changing each day with the addition of new work created both on-site and for the site.
After designing the promotional materials and marketing the pop-up installation, the artists graciously gave me the back wall of the space to work on. This is a photo of the canvas (approx 8 x 11 feet) about three weeks into working on it. I am currently working on a video of the progress from still photos taken periodically throughout the process.
