Exon Oil Wrapping Things Up

This is formerly a Citco Gas Station that was abandoned 4 years ago near Syracuse University. The artist is Jennifer Marsh 27, who got fed up with the price of gas and wanted to create art that reflected her concerns. This project involved 15 countries 2,500 grade school students in 29 states. There are 3000 fiber panels crocheted, knitted, quilted, and stitched together. It was announced this week that Exon will be selling off all their filling stations. It is estimated that there are over 200,000 abandoned gas stations in America right now. I suspect there will be more in the near future.
Jennifer graduated from The Columbus College of Art and Design in 2005 and is now working on her Masters Degree at Syracuse University
