CAMILLE UTTERBACK / Flourish

Flourish is a 70-foot long site-specific artwork commissioned by Liberty Mutual for an executive corridor in the corporation’s headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. This unique piece combines MacArthur Fellow Camille Utterback‘s signature interactive installation work with a new display method – projection onto multiple layers of custom glazed and sandblasted glass.

For this installation, Slanted Studios shot custom ink footage to match the organic feel of the paint and glass. Our custom programming triggered both the ink texture library and generated the growing and falling leaves. Mapping allowed for any of the projected elements to appear within or behind any layer of glass.
