Where Would You Like To Go Today?




Part I of a possible series

Where Do You Want To Go Today?
Viewers were asked to talk to sit with the camera and imagine or state where they'd like to go. Some viewers chose to be silent and act out where they'd like to go. Others provided monologues. The installation consisted of instructions on the door, a camera in the middle of the room, and the green screen. Nothing further has been done with the footage, and may just serve as a one time or repeated installation as a sense of false reality.

There Once Was a Little Girl



There Once Was a Little Girl

Welded Girl face shape hung by rope made of string, hanging in the lobby. Go ahead, try and mess with this.

Red Paint Piece II




This is Not Trash or Red Paint Piece II
This is Not For Stepping On or Red Paint Piece II

Placed dried red paint puddle on the floor of the lobby along with its can on the opposite side of the lobby. This piece has been tampered with, the can has been stolen and the paint has been stepped on. Reminding me again that people have no respect for art or not a high enough intellect to realize that certain objects are there for a reason. Minimalist and conceptual art exists, not just paintings on wall.

Red Paint




I poured a can of red paint in an installation room and allowed viewers to come inside.

I sprayed an entire can of Super 77 into a glass box.

Our Love Will Never Die



These images are taken from (my first) a performance where I pour water onto a bouquet of fake roses in a kitchen. I continuously look at my watch as though I am waiting for someone or something and say, "Our Love Will Never Die" with each pour. Gradually I grow upset and eventually throw the cup of water on the ground.
