my friend kandice over at honeststab.com has two great articles on the first annual gowanus art space jello competition.
the first article has pictures of several entries and some general background, the second one describes their process of creating the pieces she did together with julia green, ending up winning first price.
(there’s also a related video over at mcbrooklyn.)
congrats kandice and julia!
