Spinning Lines
Both transparent and solid, this site-specific string installation addresses the process of life while toeing the line between drawing and sculpture. Why is it that we make the same choices and walk the same paths? Sometimes we get stuck and forget we have a choice. The truth comes out in the old saying "Man is a creature of habit." The seemly simplistic aesthetic evokes a personal search for each viewer leading toward introspection.

Spinning Lines Live Performance
June 18, 2010 at The Invisible Dog, Brooklyn, NY
A collaborative performance with Jess Anthony and Elinor Evans
Eight Years and 12 Days
Nothing can remain the same as it was now.
We make choices, even when we don’t want to make them.
Time passes, things change; everything moves and stretches with the pull of life.
The bonds that are formed between two people's spirits and hearts in a relationship are jointly woven. Tonight, Theo and I will weave a Relationship that will envelop us, demonstrating the stages our relationship has gone through and the continual need for communication with each other to make our relationship work in life.
Dedicated to my husband in honor of our anniversary.
