Striving for a "higher plane" in an idyllic setting









Traveling Light/ Preparing for War, 2008

All the tools I brought to my residency.
Table is 4' x8'





An untitled material study.

A slice of Parallam joist (engineered beam) nailed to the wall beside the beam.
Beam is 96" L











Grass, 2008

Polystyrene, up to 96" H

I planted lengths of foam that were scraps from another project.  The longer lengths swayed slowly and dramatically with the wind.  The shorter lengths vibrated rapidly.   I think I'll make another version of this at some point.





The Urge to Tunnel Out, 2008

A rusty pipe pierces the corner of a wall.  Pipe is 50"L

It rained for a week straight in Vermont and I became a bit violent.  
Funny how this act seemed so renegade, when it took about five minutes to repair the wall.

Partially Refinished Chair #1, 2008

One slat removed, sanded, polished and replaced
