DRIFTING BEYOND CONTROL
San Diego International Airport
San Diego, California, 2001

Working with images that were derived from the marine biology of southern California, Carolyn Braaksma, in collaboration with Barb McKee, designed intricate and unique prototype molds for pre-cast concrete exterior wall panels at the San Diego International Airport. Four different 9.5-ft by 9.5-ft patterns repeat in varying combinations along walls beneath the sterile international concourse. Their imagery includes enlarged microorganisms, algae, kelp, and indigenous marsh plants.
