John K. Melvin Artworks

-follow the link to the Aven Project on the left bar.

John K. Melvin does a lot of interesting art installations, obviously more transient than what we are undertaking, but the ideas of creating a whole new canvas in which the site conditions can impact is quite compelling.

Other interesting installations he has done include: 800 balloons, 18v5, PA-SDW.

explore the site if you like...
