and installation projects
The
following pieces are characterized
by precisely-crafted objects
that use repetition and
shifting scale to address
issues of visibility,
discovery and metamorphosis.
Each artwork invites a
closer look. The viewer’s
physical approach is often
accompanied by curiosity,
confusion and moments
of recognition. My artwork
acts as a catalyst for
these momentary thresholds.

Phalanx
is a floor installation
of spooky, exoskeletal
creatures. Composite
images of the artist‚s
head and hands are folded
into thousands of small
paper sculptures. Eyes
open and eyes closed,
this amphibious population
is on the move. A raised
walkway allows the viewer
to navigate the hordes.
Below, the crab-like
forms reproduce and
create their own interactive
eddies. This tidal army
is confrontational.
En masse, the creatures
suggest both physical
and psychological invasion. |
