Funnel of Love was created for the Breck Create artist residency for their annual Breckenridge Forth of July parade and festival in Breckenridge, CO. The project proposal was required to function as both a functioning parade float as well as immersive installation with the overarching theme of “Spangled”. Funnel of Love was inspired by a fantastical vision of kitsch summertime swan boat rides with undertone thought of feminine sexuality displayed at a larger-than-life scale. Using the historical depictions of erotic art (ie. women’s bodies displayed suggestively or explicitly encountering sexual pleasure with a swan as opposed to another human body) the feminine body becomes the heart-like tunnel to swan your way into for summertime ecstasy.
