Signs of Things to Become

Digital 3D images printed and installed in front of the “actual” building. A proposition of other potentials immanent to the structures. The project continued with alternate propositions and locations.

Dispersed Interrogations

Dispersed Interrogations is a title draped over a long term practice of observation and interest in representation. Miniature drawings of objects were attached to the “parent” object in locations where they would likely be encountered. They were intended to prompt a range of responses from delight, to consternation, to reflection and analysis.

Power Stations

A project conducted in Egypt; a small object was placed at sites which reflected power relations. This activity in itself was not innocent and also contains a dynamic of power, in turn reflected by the device’s incongruous appearance.

Concrete

Concrete uses digital 3D software to investigate ideas of simulation. It illustrates words that imply a second generation image or some degree on un-reality such as shadow, toy, lure, camouflage, proxy, etc.
