Mixed Media Installation: 2019
Lane Community College
Eugene, Oregon
An installation project that tells the story of my lifelong obsession with the printed volume and encounters with the natural world. The personal direction of the work immerses us into a discourse of how humanity and reason intersects with nature. This journey unfolds as a rich visual landscape that you can walk through and experience at different levels of scale and detail. As a new ecosystem of curated and created fragments the work seeks to make sense of the named and the found.

Banff AIR
Individual Residency: 2013
Banff Arts Centre

The Banff campus provided a great environment for exploring new directions in my work. I began to work with wax and combine it with familiar materials and techniques. I started a concept piece utilizing a wire grid which developed into an installation I exhibited following the residency.

Exhibition 2011:
Mixed Media Installation
I have always had a strong interest in the built environment. Not only in the
architecture and design but the construction process as well. A fascination with
all things industrial and with the demolition of old buildings informs much of my
work to date. It explores the impermanence of what we build but also sets up
questions and scenarios. A mysterious and sometimes confounding world of
recycled, destroyed and reassembled environments. An expression of the
constructed subconscious.

Bookhouse
Site Specific Installation, Mixed Media: 2007
Albany, CA
I was given complete access to a friend's house that was going to be demolished for a new house. Using found materials at our recycling center I created a site specific installation responding to the rooms and taking over the narrative, where books are embedded into the spaces.
Books can represent many things, for me they are important objects and artifacts with endless variety. They become sculptures, totems and a documentation of specific times and places. This ephemeral work speaks to that notion of time and place, the fleeting nature of the things around us yet within them the enduring legacy of the written word.

Found books, ephemera, sand, nails, twine and construction adhesive.
