Sculpture SpaceThe Hole Poem series was started while in residency at Sculpture Space. That summer I suffered from Alopecia Areata, a kind of illogical hair loss due to stress which left me with a bare patch, or “hole” in my head. The resulting installation was comprised of a black and white sand drawing of a heart with a neon hole made from jello and neon; a steel framed, hanging, plastic hole with a photographic projection; the small, illuminated sphere on the side of the wall with an audio soundtrack of “hole poem.” |

New Orleans GlassworksGender Balance is a fifty foot long installation created while in residence at the New Orleans Glassworks. Using plate glass for each segment of the railing, graphic, collaged imagery is illuminated by neon tubing – and painted. The walls and posts in the Glassworks were painted as part of the installation. One picture in the slideshow from the inside of St. Jude’s chapel at a local New Orleans cemetery. The collection of objects hanging on the walls of the chapel influenced the imagery of the artwork itself. |
