"Beautiful Isle of Somewhere"
2006
Media Installation
It took two weeks of constant work (and feasting) for the ants to "remove" the sucker from the garden. For the ants, the removal of the sucker was a glorious bounty and a tremendous task.
"Swimmer"
2003
Kinetic Video Sculpture
The projection of a swimmer swims across the floor, up a wall, across the ceiling, then back down to the floor in an endless loop. A robotics sculpture rotates the data projector at a rate based on the swimmer's stroke. There is an ambiguity: Is the swimmer contained within or propelling the projection?
"The Clearing"
2006
Media Installation
A shaft of light- like an open door- projects around the walls of the gallery. The light is a video making up a 360 degree view of a clearing. The projection slowly moves around the walls of the room. If the viewer's body interrupts the projection, the video momentarily changes to a sequence of a clear cut.
