Through Earth 2005.
A location and directionally specific sculpture, “Through Earth” depicts a 10 degree arch of the world as it rests beneath your feet. An inverted globe picking up from the horizon and describing countries and borders as if the earth were clear. This piece was made for standing in Richmond Virginia and looking northeast through Cape Cod, Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Ocean, Ireland, United Kingdom, Europe, and into the Middle-east, finally ending some 300 miles off the southwest cost of Australia in the Indian Ocean.
Sound Stop 2005.
“Sound Stop” is a documentary piece of sound furniture. Taking the design from local radial shaped buss stops, (designed to prevent people from sleeping on them) recorded Interviews play up the clear center support of the “Sound Stop” and can be heard by seated listeners. The interviews were recorded with anyone seated at local bus stops in Richmond Virginia. People were asked what they thought about art.

The hand you’re dealt 2004.
This work is a kind of card game with the gods. The gallery room is bordered with card hands directed away from the viewer. The hand given to the viewer is face up in the corner. Your five cards are a blue print of the surrounding four walls and ceiling. I have alway felt we are all playing with a small portion of a much grater amount of information.
