Altamont Pass wall mounted

The idea for this work is to install several wooden display boxes with solar powered "windmills" in a storefront window exposed to sunlight. As the sun crosses the sky and hits the solar panels, each windmill will spin, individually or in groups, following the path of the sun. The spinning will occur in a wave-like pattern, similar to how windmills spin at the Altamont Pass.

I showed the first box at the Cafe Gabriela show in 2014. I'm thinking of starting a "Kickstarter" campaign to raise funds and locate a suitable storefront for this conceptual work.
