The installation is the latest investigation in a fascinating series that explores the ephemeral potential of the material when layered and carefully configured in three dimensions.
DESCRIPTION
Of the 203 people with voting seats on the decision making entities at the 9 largest Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in the State of Texas, only 41 are women. Non-hispanic white Texans make up 40% of the people of these 9 MPOs, but hold 59% of the voting seats. Yet these numbers somewhat hide the depth of the problem, with the large number of seats held by Hispanics in the MPOs along the border counterbalancing the lack of seats held by people of color in Houston and Dallas - Fort Worth.
