Big MEL | artist residency | Spokane, WA

Big MEL, aluminum and vinyl, 6ft x 7ft x 8ft

Big MEL was created by The Lady Egg while she was artist in residence at The Laboratory in Spokane, WA. During this residency, she utilized scrap materials from a local awning manufacturer to fabricate a giant lemon and organized a show to present the final work to the Spokane community. This piece is a great example of The Lady Egg’s ability to reimagine everyday objects from absurd perspectives. Big MEL can be seen today in Tempe, AZ where it is on display at the Historic Danelle Plaza.

Where is Big Mel today?

Peer through the windows at Tempe’s underground art installation: Dannelle Plaza

Across the way from Yucca Taproom is an unsuspecting building, seemingly abandoned. But when the sun goes down, the building lights up from the inside out with glowing window displays designed by some of Arizona’s most prolific artists in the scene. This is where Big Mel lives now, standing tall behind a very big message.

Bring Big MEL to your next event.
