Peralta Junction was an amazing free carnival that lived in an abandoned lot in West Oakland for 2 months. I was invited to design the stage, and the Double Pony Stage came out of my wildest childhood fantasies and my obsessive need to make a public fabric installation that would resemble a child's stick pony toy. The stage was over 70ft tall and became a beacon for those looking for something safe, fun and free to do on the weekends. It was one of the more incredible projects I have ever been involved in and I could not have done it without the help and support of my dear friend and collaborator Melvin Occasio, and the entire team at One Hat One Hand.
