incognita

incognita ...visually inspired by the ethereal beauty of ocean life, I used wire, glass, and silicone to build three dimensional 'drawings' by casting shadows through the sculpture onto suspended planes of polypropylene... resulting in an intangible, expressive shadow drawing.

bed/No Exit

1.

bed/NoExit [likening the dead end of a relationship to Satre's Hell] was made by weaving 18 gauge wire into a pattern based upon an old rusted bed-spring.  The finished product (spanning 20 feet across, flattened) mimicked a snare, and has been exhibited at least three different ways...
   1. draped across the floor, over bed linens
   2. as a wingspan mirroring a mutilated cassette tape
   3. as a cocoon hanging on the wall.

spectator

spectator  is both subject and object... it observes while being observed, switching roles with the viewer. It is most interesting when light is projected onto it to create a double image. 
"recycled" 400+ vintage frames from the MLK National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, TN.  the original size was approximately  8' x 8'.

spectator has donned the cover of No.46: number: an independent journal for the arts fall 2003.
