Cars | Cone, 2009
Paint, gel, tape, mirror, with projected dynamic image
Dimensions variable

This work physically articulates how specific our visual focus is - focusing on two things simultaneoulsy is very difficult. The moving cars and pedestrians are one one wall and via mirror, the cone appears on the opposing wall.

14 ft. high

A meditation on our experience of time, Stranding Memory is composed of projected videos of people that travel along a helix and projected images of events that form another helix. Fog from dry ice further enhances the dynamism of the piece as well as the sense of dissolution of memory over time.

Playing with symmetry, expectation and projection, digital versions of the shapes that compose the woman and man in the physical drawing are dynamically projected onto drawing.

Nourished by TV signals the vines grow, sometimes exhibiting patterns of symmetry.

Despite having growth patterns the vines, nourished by TV
signals, grow continuously without ever repeating themselves.
This clip is silent though the piece uses tv signals.
