Design Philosophy
As an interior designer with a background in music, my work always has been sensitive to time, movement and performance in space. For me installation art is a natural outgrowth of interior design. My installations rely heavily on layering of information, offering you distinct experiences from a distance and up close. They are designed to pull you into and through a space or towards and around an event. Each installation is site-specific and rarely could, or should be assembled in the same configuration at another location.
Dichotomies create common threads throughout my installations.
Dichotomies create common threads throughout my installations.
- Promise vs. Loss
- Hope vs. Despair
- Appearance vs. Reality
- Acceptance vs. Alienation
I cautiously address these through contradictions and metaphors.
- Projecting serene videos captured in a public space while broadcasting a cacophony of contradictory ambient sounds
- Showing positive images of negative concepts while employing inverse images better portraying realities
- Signifying movement towards perfection with the Fibonacci sequence while depicting loss with worsened arrays of the order
- Referencing the rainbow as a symbol of God's Covenant with Man while suggesting estrangement with discordant tones of the same
