Happy Birthday to . . .

This is a work of art called Happy Birthday to Ed. It's a sealed off room with industrial fans that blow bits of paper from the Wall Street Journal stock pages (the size of U.S. currency) around the room. It blows 1971 pieces of paper. You can view the bits flying around in the top 3 1/2 feet and through the window in an adjacent courtyard. There is also a peephole to see into the room. This "piece" is part of a five piece collection for the 'Happy Birthday' exhibition at Winkelman Gallery.
