MORPHOGENESIS, 2011. Multimedia installation.
Installed at the Staller Center for the Arts for my MFA thesis exhibtion, this multimedia work explores my underwater wax extrusion process through several different lenses. Shifting in scale from the micro to the monumental, this installation combines large scale sculptural forms alongside process footage of their backyard production. This raw video footage is juxtaposed with pristine, high-speed microfluidic lab footage of the same material transformation. Capturing the forced collision of molten wax and cold water at 2000 frames per second exposes the hidden beauty within these event-based sculptures.
CLOUD POINT
This sculptural video installation offers viewers a sensorially immersive experience. Combining light, sound, water and scrim I created a liminal space filled with shadows and reflections to transport the viewer to an alien landscape. Challenging the perception of both space and time, this work creates a surreal and meditative space akin to my underwater work environment.
CHANGING PHASES
As the premier debut of my underwater wax extrusion process, this installation focuses primarily on process. The first segments of video are presented in documentation format, however as the process unfolds, its very nature is abstracted beyond the classification of a definitive space. Initially it is made clear that I am submerged in a confined vessel of water but as the footage shifts into natural lighting conditions, the ambient sunlight penetrating the translucent plastic tank evokes feelings of oceanic depth or perhaps even deep space.
HIGH WATER
Installed in two variations over a four month span at Spectrum, an alternative music/art space (L.E.S., NYC), this kinetic work is an exploration in fluid movement of line through space. Vinyl tubing suspended from the ceiling creates a closed circulatory system, transporting fluorescent fluids from one end of the space to the other. Referencing the human body and its many different relationships with fluids, this work creates a fantasy flavored audio-visual playground as viewers gaze up at the fluctuating colors, sounds and shadows created by the multicolor liquid flowing through it. As the piece was remote controlled and primarily showcased in the dark during Spectrum’s live music events, the glowing fluidic movement echoed the rhythmic pulsations of the audio performances.
SANCTUM
In this multimedia installation created in collaboration with composer Krystal J. Grant, my two-dimensional energy impressions are reconfigured into an inhabitable space. Beginning with an 18 foot diameter octagonal frame, my brightly colored canvases became the undulating walls. This space beckons the viewer to transcend the distinction between sacred and natural sanctuaries. My fluid skating across canvases and Grant’s meandering through a bamboo garden weave impressions of energy into the visual and sonic elements of the piece. The lines of paint map my gliding through space, which is echoed in the paths of the sculpted curves. Through subtle computer processing, the playfulness of her improvisatory percussion blends with on-site recordings of distant birds and church bells. Sanctuum is a space for meditative experience.
