I installed a piece in Charleston, SC for Receiver Fest-a time based media festival. More to come, but for now, here are some highlights.
A detail of my installation “From Whence They Came”.
18×8 feet
wood, water, soap, air, motors
And the rest of the trip:
Video detail from an installation created during my residency at Ox-Bow in September 2010.
Sometimes it seems like someone makes all the work you’ve ever wanted to. Jeppe Hein’s witty, poetic and sometimes off the wall body of kinetic work has me throwing my hands up in the air and shrugging. I have sketch video’s of dust bunnies being pushed around by air. The screw in the wall is not an idea I’ve had, but quite similar. I’ve often thought of peep holes in the wall (although I didn’t resolve what was inside). Needless to say, I really enjoy Hein’s work and even had a chance to see a piece at the MCA a couple weeks ago.
Almost Nothing
Falling Screw
Rotating Mirror Circle
Let Me Show You The World
It’s official, I will be showing at WMCAT on Fulton for Art Prize! The installation will include many twitching pull strings and possibly a flickering light….stay tuned.

On and On, 2010
strings, motors, pullstring tips
This piece has transformed itself many times since it’s conception. It was going to be excerpts from “carefree” songs (such as those by Jack Johnson) with a torso-esque figure attached to the wall doing a shoulder dance. For awhile it was going to be powered by a tape player motor. I tried making an armature out of lego’s and erector set, wood and pully’s. Each of these things hit it’s own road blocked and pushed me into the direction of this final piece. It was critiqued last week Tuesday before we left for Thanksgiving break.
