This installation was about the physicality and manipulation of space by the accumulation of small units. It was inspired by the large algae blooms on the coasts of China. These single-celled organisms multiply and collect to the point where they need to be removed by large machinery. 2011 - Braided Fabric, Rope, Chain, Plastic, etc. - Variable Dimensions

This was an installation that I created for the Graduate show at The College of St. Rose. This work was inspired by ribosomal subunits and their structures. I was intrigued by the fact that the we know what these subunits do, but not necessarily what the process is in the the formation of these units. 2012 - Wool Roving, Steel Wool, Yarn, Twine, Green Jute, Nylon Rope, Other Various Industrial Ropes, Steel Rod, Plywood, Fabric - Various Dimensions
