String of Leading Sinews 2016

String of Leading Sinews 2016

This gutted couch is the body of the heroic Individual: once strong in erected isolation, now strained from Society’s demand. However, it relieves music from tight strings. The struggle to crave familial inclusion while chasing independence is vocalized through the haunting sounds of this constructed resonant chamber.  

Mark On The Wall 2016

Interactive Installation

30 x 42 Inches

Stop Motion Video of 20 Copper Etchings projected onto a box on the wall with a Sink Drain that plays crafted instrumental music from "String of Leading Sinews" 2016 that is distorted through the plumbing.

Reclined Heirloom 2016

Reclined Heirloom 2016

This sculpture  is an abstraction of a couch reliant on pattern and weight to determine its familial value. The enlarged pipe demands importance; a rusted odalisque sinking into the springs.

The Dinner Guest 2015

The Dinner Guest 2015

Abstract steel sculpture expressing the intimidating discomfort of inviting scrutiny of family from an outsider.

Household Gods 2015

Household Gods 2015

A series of 3 domestic niches responding to family as a space of transient motion. The viewer is an intruder: holding the shower head like a phone, digging in a drawer and purposefully fiddling with taps to hear these private conversations tattled on by household plumbing. 

Dissecting Pidgins 2014

Dissecting Pidgins 2014

Pidgin (noun) - a simplified form of communication shared amongst people who do not speak the same language

This performance acts as an attempt to translate the ephemeral language of touch into more structured communication forms. The audience is invited to touch the exposed keyboard circuitry where it directly translates into type and sound.

Memory Chaotic 2014

Memory Chaotic 2014

The work evokes an overall feeling of frustration at the inability to have complete control over memory. The damage to the lightbulbs demonstrates futile attempts to successfully enter inside memories. Even the failed documentation in the drawers is inaccessible distorted through a lens as another limit of control.

Dissembled Tympan 2014

Dissembled Tympan 2014

This piece is a fantastical machine meant to transform books back into organic matter. The irrationality of this machine in combination to pairing the book with antiquated domestic objects (the ironing board and type writer); addresses a question of the importance of use.

Bookman 2014

Bookman 2014

This piece questions how the weight of knowledge is changing with the advancement in technology. Bookman represents the onslaught of knowledge that appears as a physical mass of the book.  (Made in collaboration with Brienne Miller)
