Twernt No Thing..., 2007, Sarah Hatton, Amanda Prall, Aaron Cuthbertson, Jing Li, Robert Berg, Mixed Media Installation, The Stop n' Look, Phoenix, AZ

Twernt no thing, that old timer ‘555 with his bent pin blowin’ like a Mojave evening on the tracks behind the Hollow Leg (where he used to go to smoke with Buddy, before the interstate got put in), that buzzy neon martini, the olive flickering slightly, and anyhow a red dot, was that a pimiento? Or just a sign? is a mixed media installation custom made for the Stop n’ Look Community Resource Gallery in downtown Phoenix. The Stop n’ Look is a shop window turned art venue. Twernt No Thing… tells the story of adventures through skies filled with lucky love symbols (the paper crane) via hot air balloons through deadly hot zones in a fantasy desert dotted with drive-ins and stop-light gardens. The installation includes paintings, soft sculptures, kinetic sculptures, origami, video, electronics, and miniature scenes.
