Door to door horror- Redux

The last Hunter MFA Open Studio was reason enough to re-visit my summer piece, Door to door horror. I enjoyed this new formation as it thwarts tall viewers while also allowing more room for spacial interaction with the piece.

Flying Mirror

Tests

The MAP

More diagrams

Models

This is a little like what my thesis project will look like, but still testing.

A Sleeper, Tissue Box- Style

Two images are better then one, especially when one dispenses the other.

Sucking Bed, Tissue Box-style

Another experiment...

Horror chart 1

It is time to start graphing and charting the wild universe of horror.

shelf (doily) unit

I am not sure where this is going. It is a bit strange.

Ladies Know

Some Experiments, in preparation for my thesis project.

Special Effects

A friend of mine helped me create an animated version of documentation for a summer piece I made, called Tarps. Check it out if oyu have a chance, you animate it by moving the arrow over the image.

White Columns, "One Week Only"

More picture from the show

This poster is hot off the presses for my first non-school related New York show. After my installation is up, I will update this post with photos.

Sketch and experiment

In my search and research of devices, come another simple but beautiful one, the napkin dispenser.

And in continuation of my recent fascination with office supplies, the shelving unit re-organized.

English Churches

A cover, deconstructed, reveals illusionary depth.

Fantasy Rolodex-Maquette

Real and fantastical rolodexes

New Tarps and Wooden Clusters

These pieces explore my fascination of 2-D and 3-D space. By employing the simple optical illusion of one picture plane broken into a perpendicular V shape, what once was flat becomes more visually complex.




I am showing two pictures of the same image, in order to show how the image morphs as the viewer move in position to it.

Covers

This is a sketch of a real book cover, as well as, a sketch for a future sculpture. I want to explore this dual nature of sketches that they can simultaneously be pictures of something and a picture of something to be.

The art of extraction

Everyone loves making collage, I am no different. However, I seem to take more pleasure from extraction then addition. This piece, Family Paintings, is an example of this tendency.
