CHORUS 2014-2015
"CHORUS" is a collection of 18 X 18 inch drawings rendered in acrylic and graphite on Mylar and mounted to aluminum. They rest on chrome-plated folding music stands. The seamless photo back-drop or skype is approximately 96"H X 216"W X 84"D and is constructed from ply-wood, plaster, and paint. A soundscape is composed by reducing the playback speed of Mozart's Mass Requiem one time for each choral member; thus producing a low chanting hum.
WIDOW'S SPEAK 2013
12 Digital play-back cameras on tri-pods surround a life size effigy of a horse in the guise of a Piñata. The horse is constructed from a taxidermy resin casted form, artificial hair, leather, metal, rope, canvas, paint, and black tissue festooning. The video plays on the camera flip-screens as if it were a live feed. The cameras are connected and synched via a network of co-axial cables and stream the video into the next room as a large projection. The video can be seen at the following link: https://vimeo.com/73065360

Seven half-sized telegraph poles are daisy chained together with cable wire and placed under a vaulted ceiling in a succession reminiscent of the Stations of the Cross. The vintage speakers emit an electrical buzz and hum while the lighting illuminates the surrounding works.
