Commissioned by the Airport, the piece will remain on view for three to five years.\u00a0\u201cBlue Portal\u201d is constructed from 1-inch by 1-inch wood lengths clad in sheathing lasercut from acrylic and collage on wood. Inserts of vinyl create a colorful visual effect, especially when interacting with the natural light at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meyer\u2019s artwork is influenced by utopian communities and their histories in this country.\u00a0Her pieces suggest the forms and palettes of &#8217;60s era experimental communities and of Modernist architecture and design. \u201cBlue Portal\u201d emulates the visual dynamic of Drop City, an early commune in Trinidad, CO. For homes, Droppers created variations on the geodesic dome using multi-colored car hoods reclaimed from a nearby junkyard. In addition to channeling Drop City, the palette and collage work on the structure\u2019s cladding loosely reference imagery from the night skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1113\" height=\"1407\" style=\"object-position: 60.825% 65.225%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Prof. Meyer stands beneath the sculptural installation she created\" class=\"wp-image-40802279045\" style=\"width:1280px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_2-1.jpg 1113w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_2-1-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_2-1-810x1024.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_2-1-768x971.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_2-1-119x150.jpg 119w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1113px) 100vw, 1113px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2-896x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40802279047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2-896x1024.jpg 896w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2-768x878.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2-1343x1536.jpg 1343w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2-1791x2048.jpg 1791w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2-131x150.jpg 131w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/12\/Meyer_Blue-Portal_1-2.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Susan Meyer, MFA, specialist professor in the Department of Art and Design, recently installed an 8-foot diameter sculptural installation, \u201cBlue Portal,\u201d at Albany International Airport in Albany, NY.\u00a0Located in Concourse B of the terminal, the piece is suspended within a 12-foot overhead round aperture.
