2015

This work consists of a single video screen mounted inside a metal frame, with a small piece of black electrical tape dangling from the top. The screen displays an animation of a simple cube interacting with a virtual continuation of the tape. Like children whose play has gone stale and seek out a fight, or lovers whose attraction fades to boredom and then outright hostility, the cube and tape our characters whose relationship is laid bare.  The cube jostles the tape, first gently but then with increasing spite until the tape is torn.  But the tape is renewed and gets its chance at revenge, rolling the cube this way and that, then finally sending it spinning off screen. The animation repeats indefinitely, as do so many cycles of injury and retaliation in the world.

Root
Each life coalesces in layers and has a story to be told if you can find it.
We make our own memories, ring by ring, until the day comes when we,
too, are uprooted.

Back to Black

100 Pieces
It’s not too difficult to generate the generic: just follow the recipe,
sprinkle a bit of this or that, and you can cook up whatever
you want.

Memo
Russia, 1939. A state run by terror. A population in despair.
But even in darkness threads of light are visible, in paper and ink.

Towers
A cycle of construction and deconstruction, repeating ad infinitum,
that produces towers like melodies in a set of musical variations.

Survival of the Fittest
Just because you climb the corporate ladder from the inside,
instead of scaling the walls from without, doesn’t mean
you’re any less of a beast.

Push past silent comfort zones and playfulness unravels into cruelty.
