Inspirations include Claes Oldenburg's «Proposed Colossal Monuments» (1965 — 69), playfully outlandish watercolors of oversized objects in
improbable urban locations (the middle of a busy intersection, in lieu of the Statue of Liberty, for example), and Christo and Jeanne - Claude's formalist cloth outdoor works such as «Valley Curtain» (1970 — 72) and «Running Fence» (1972 — 76).
