Paper Vortex by Joan Irving
Artist: Joan Irving - San Diego, California
Location: SDIA Terminal 2 West
Just outside the Entrance Rotunda, to the left of the metal detectors in the security corridor, is the third work by Joan Irving. Forming an intriguing backdrop and barrier wall for the security corridor, Paper Vortex adds a beautiful touch of lighthearted fantasy to an otherwise serious place. It reflects an evolving process that has become the artist's trademark. A piece of paper is seemingly pushed by a breeze down the corridor, forming fist a paper airplane and finally an Origami crane. With its directional shapes and flowing rhythm, the piece is designed to pleasantly lead travelers to their gate.
Also by Joan Irving: Wind Dance & Sunlight Juxtaposed
