“Hazardous Waste Site” Proposal

This installation will be a variation of The Hazardous Waste Site exhibited at The Mills Pond House, St. James 1988. 

Hazardous waste spills from an open section of a fifty-five gallon drum onto an abandoned dumping site near a water supply cover.

The perimeter will be roped off with stanchions or posts and fluorescent warning tape.
