Fall 2017, 7’ x 3.5’ x 6'. Fabric, sticks, and furniture installation
"good times here but better down the road" was made for a group show called "Open/Closed" in Boston Universities Gallery 5. It created a place for students to sit and watch old movies or cartoons on a small portable black and white television. The piece explores ideas of transience and domesticity through the impermanence of the various objects, as well as how we use images in memory through a television, framed photo, and the paintings throughout the exhibition.
Fall 2017, 8’ x 5’ x 8’. Bedsheets, stretcher bars, signs, sleeping pad, alarm clock, and hatchet installation
"POSTED" is an installation made up out of panels of stretched bed sheets hung on top of a skeleton of stretcher bars. Inside the structure are "NO TRESPASSING" signs, a sleeping pad and an alarm clock with a hatchet stuck into the wooden base. The alarm clock plays the radio and is fully functional thanks to the telephone pole in the rear. The installation was located in a critique room and was a slight point of contention as the piece claimed a large amount of public working space for the duration of almost a month.
Fall 2017, 6' x 4' carpet, 3' x 3' tarp with ropes extending 4 - 10 feet. Fabric, paracord, carpet, rocks, logs, and leaves installation
"Curb Appeal" consists of a camping tarp sewn out of various fabric scraps suspended over a carpet containing sticks and leaves. I used the environment to install the work, tying the ropes to the rafters and pillars of the room. One side, however, is tied down with several large rocks, all working to give the piece a complicated existence. The work lives in a space between the indoor and outdoor, the rural and suburban, and the domestic and nomadic.
