The collision led the two of them to interview the group of fifty Long Walkers to create a webbed map of connections, and they\'ve been dragging one another into their respective creative schemes ever since.', piece: 'Successful collaborations develop natural tides, and Tessa Hulls and Eric Olson have fallen into an egalitarian tradeoff in which they take turns inhabiting the roles of instigator and supporter. "BiblioPILE: Book Lovers Never Go to Bed Alone" is Tessa\'s turn to take the reins. A voracious reader who grew up in a town of 350 people, Tessa spent her formative years reading her way through the public library and roaming the hills with piles of books. BiblioPILE is a book lover\'s playful homage to the ongoing quest of finding balance between the landscapes of imagination and the fragility of actual structures.', sites: ['https://web.archive.org/web/20161028044332/http://tessahulls.com/', 'https://web.archive.org/web/20161028044332/http://ericdidit.com/'], videoId: 'youtube:7fuaQJR5yXE', images: [] },

I did Elvis impersonations for my parents\' friends on the hearth. I dressed as Elton John for Halloween. I saw every Star Wars movie on opening day. I knew girls were different from boys when I discovered Olivia Newton-John. I grew up with Ronald McDonald and Ronald Reagan, King Tut and the King of Pop; images and icons that have been burned into my subconscious. Rock stars, advertising, packaging, Hollywood, fast food, the internet, Facebook, and reality TV are all part of the American mass culture that both shapes my life and forms a vital component of my creative process."', piece: 'Troy Gua appears in the Gigapixel ArtZoom with one of the pieces from his "Pop Hybrids" series. These artworks are about the reduction of personality into logo, of individuality into the collective, of photography into design. They\'re a subtraction of images: the recycling, re-using and reducing of two or more images into one iconographic collection of shapes.  This work deals with iconography, duality and satirical juxtapositions. By portraying cultural icons inter-layered with one another, these highly lustrous, visually arresting pieces challenge the viewer to decipher the image while making the sardonic, metaphorical and sometimes philosophical connections within.', sites: ['https://web.archive.org/web/20161028044332/http://www.troygua.com/'], videoId: 'youtube:Y0pai0ksQ2o', images: [] },

The artists attached sidewalk chalk to bamboo poles, then turned in place on sheets of tar paper, drawing intersecting circles that eventually spread to the surface of the parking lot.
