Project Overview
Auto Inspection Station | Appling City Cove Automobile Inspection Station
“Each of the panels were fabricated using recycled materials that spell out a hidden word within the design.”
Memphis artist Carol DeForest completed her series of sculptures at the Appling City Cove Automobile Inspection Station in November 2010. Each of the panels was fabricated using recycled materials that spell out a hidden word within the design. DeForest also used the reclaimed materials to create a moving element within each panel.
