HUTS

I created a hut for the Masterpiece in a Day contest at Fountain Square in Indianapolis. September 2008.
I also created a hut for the Harrison Gallery's "Brown paper packages all tied in string" show. December 2008.


I have been building "walk-in/crawl inside" structures since I was a child.
I used to create my 'own room' out of laundry baskets, chairs and blankets.
I dug holes in snow piles large enough to occupy myself and a friend. I created a
tiny hut to do my homework in by using a forsythia bush , sticks and leaves. I believe
there is a driving subconsious force behind these creations, a craving to build my own
sacred space, my own nest.



"Through"

2005, NSAD Gallery, Norwich, UK.
Steel, wood, text, sketchbook.

I invited viewers to walkthrough the tunnel. Coming from another room, the tunnel lead
to my sketchbook bolted to the wall. No one hesitated looking through it, which was my goal.
The sketchbook included thoughts, sketches, jokes, and journalism from my semester leading
up to the project. The paper structures on the walls reflected the idea of looking at a city from
above. One of my ideas behind this work is that no matter how closely or how long we look, we
can never know the whole story. When we are faced with the 'overwhelming,' we tend to pick out
smaller sections that we can identify with, or focus on.




Into the Deep Woods

2005, NSAD Gallery, Norwich, UK.
mixed media, tree branches, string, collage and paint on paper (ripped)

"Into the Deep Woods" is about a journey into the self to confronting the soul.
This was made in my mid 20s, during a transformative time of self evaluation and discovery.
