The tent has become a symbol of the Occupy movement of 2011. I decided to build a tent as an installation piece, continuing in the style of paint on broadsheet newspaper. In conjunction with the protest signs I made, I hoped the tent would recreate the feel of the Occupy Wall Street protests. As the tent was progressing I toyed with the idea of leaving one side open and placing a chair inside so that the viewer could sit down inside the tent or stand outside with the placards, a kind of Occupy simulator. I decided to close the tent, save a folded over flap as the doorway, and to paint some of the slogans from Occupy Wall Street on the outside.
