Hunting Blinds, 2007 is a pair of 12-foot tall sculptures designed to scale the corners of the high concrete walls of the outdoor gallery space at the Black & White Gallery, Williamsburg. Hunting Blinds was inspired by the vernacular architecture used by hunters, but here it allowed for discreet observation of visitors in the Village Green Pillory. The imposing blinds use a naturalistic leaf pattern to mimic the forest. Transposed to a social urban setting, the camouflage instead announces a possible threat.
