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.
  • 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
