Ever since I saw the newly designed The Wright Restaurant in NYC's Guggenheim Museum I've been thinking about how this idea could be adapted for a church space.
The museum's site-specific artwork, by Liam Gillick, is of high-end custom extruded aluminum. But it kind of looks like painted 2x4s, doesn't it? Note how in the first photo you can see that the widths and depths of the pieces vary; as if some are mounted on their side and some on their edge.
Pick your colors, then mock your project up carefully using paper strips of varying widths on graph paper scaled to your wall size. With a little planning, you too can have a site-specific work brightening up the children's or youth space using more thought than money!
