wood
60" x 72" x 12"
Description: This work is a site-specific sculpture done for the Carriage House Museum in Islip, New York, a building which has a varied past and has been repurposed numerous times over its long history. The work itself is intended to both meld into and draw attention to the confusing architectural history of the structure almost as though it could have been there all along.

Vinyl, Zippers
Description: In this work I addressed issues of social and architectural preservation by crafting a clear vinyl slipcover to fit a historic Row House. In so doing I exhibited the row house in the same manner that my Aunt used vinyl slipcovers to concurrently preserve and showcase her furniture.

The Welcome Wagon (Project Sketch)
2011-01-24 16:49:00
Variable
Description: This project is both a sculpture and a moveable project venue which is centered around the idea of creative practice as a mode of facilitation (I.E. the sculpture facilitates the work of other artists and in so doing links specific works and sites). The sculpture is a bicycle trailer fashioned to look like a traditional cottage porch, thereby providing me a platform for performative works. It will thereby allow me to freely locate performance-based work at a specific site or community in a presentation similar to the friendly exchange of neighbors on their front porches. As it moves from site to site and project to project the wagon, reminiscent of traveling minstrel wagons, stitches together various communities and various creative activities.
