Artist in Residence Blaine Seigel created Industrial Paintings using runway paint, vinyl, shingles and tape. This set of three works are patterned after the patch of asphalt where PIT tests the trucks that paint lines on runways and other surfaces. Industrial Paintings is a series of three works patterned after the airport’s paint pad and composed of runway paint, vinyl, roofing shingles and tape. During his residency, Siegel became intrigued by the swirls of color on the “paint pad,” a patch of asphalt where PIT tests the truck that paints lines and other markings on runways, ramps and other surfaces. Airport staff inspired him on this project.

This piece consists of three separate sections, all consisting of collaged imagery from the paint pad. This work is primarily black, white, and yellow lines, with some touches of orange as well. and other surfaces. Industrial Paintings can be found in the Airside Terminal at the Center Core.
