Coherence IMG_5662w As if by magic, patterns are created then slowly fade before your eyes. A simple dark blue laser dot or line moves across the canvas creating a pattern revealed only as a fleeting after image- slowly fading as soon as it is created. It is the persistence of photonic decay that allows us to see that laser projections are merely dots of light moving so fast our eyes can not see them as individual dots, but rather blur them into complete shapes. Slowing down the laser allows us to see what and how we see. Decay

Drip 18" x 36" x 75"; Glass, Resin, Steel, Lighting; ©2008 SMASH Consolidated Works Gallery, Seattle The final gallery exhibition inspired by the imminant destruction of the gallery. The 2- 5' diameter "wrecking balls" hang on giant chains on either side of an exhibition wall. The wall and balls have microphones in them so as the audience smashes the balls through the wall (destroying the wall) the tone of the balls striking the walls or each other are then modified and deepened through amplified subwoofers and re--verb that echoes the resonant "smash" throughout the building. Smash

Portals portholes.train This project was documentation of an installation done in the woods on Bainbridge Island. Its final format was 3 large-scale Cibachrome prints that are part of the City of Seattle's Portable Works Collection.
