My installations interrupt everyday spaces, most recently the featureless architecture typical of contemporary office buildings. Combining projected video, sound, and basic building materials, the projects propose a kind of makeshift magic in unlikely places. In Mining the Gap, daylight and street sounds filter through a ventilation grate, revealing a passage through the wall and a skewed view of the street activity outside. In Untitled, billowing white smoke appears to enter and fill a room through a series of vents in the walls. Often the work perforates the boundaries of an enclosed space, opening it both visually and psychologically. I disturb these generic built spaces in order to call their supposed neutrality into question, asking people to imagine what else might be possible within and beyond them.
