Description: Havel Ruck Projects This project involved a sculptural action on two condemned studio bungalows at Art League Houston. A large, funnel-like tunnel traveled 90' through the two structures, narrowing to a 2' opening on back side. The project involved the inversion of exterior siding being sucked into the large hole traveling through the structures. The project was demolished after 6 months.

Mixed
98" x 60" x 60"

Description: "Trespass 4416" is the first in a series of sculptural actions involving the utilization of the site and materials of abandoned structures in the development of on-site or off-site projects. "Trespass 4416" was created in collaboration with Dean Ruck for the Artadia 2006 exhibit at DiverseWorks, Houston. After the exhibit, the sculpture was moved and installed at the original site, where the host buildings had since been torn down. It sat on the property for a month before the artist's removed it.
