Description
GTMO Bursting Out - Richard Reeve
Eastern State Penitentiary contains art installations that regularly change. One installation is a replica of a Camp x-ray holding cage from GTMO, installed inside one of the ESP cells by artist William Cromar.
This is my homage to this particularly moving installation - by stitching 4 images together using a cylinder effect the cage is no longer a regular, straight-sided structure but rather seems to be attempting to burst out of the constraining walls of the ancient prison cell.

Richard Reeve replied:
Thank you, Meg. All credit goes to the original artist, William Cromar. I built upon his installation, as to me it seemed like it should be bursting out of these old walls. It's a moving piece - one prison cell inside another.
