The IE Weekly reviewed Re:Cycle, the exhibit that I’m in at UCRiverside’s Sweeney Art Gallery. They mentioned my installation saying:
“Perhaps the most quietly moving piece, Moments of Silence, Stars into Skies, by Ashira Siegel, memorializes a young bike messenger named “Bronx Jon,” who died after being hit by a car, and “other fallen riders who have been killed by cars and their drivers.” Bits of Bronx Jon’s story decorate a papier mâché bicycle which hangs beneath a canopy of bicycle rims draped in sheer black cloth.”
The whole article is great – you can find it here: http://www.ieweekly.com/cms/story/detail/spoke_of_genius/3628/
Here are a couple photos of the install:
