Chit (Consciousness)
2003, 30" x 30" x 9" video projection, milk, stainless steel basin.
In a darkened space a video projection into a basin of milk calmly pulsates and shifts color, while frenetically dynamic in the interior field. Intended to elicit a heightened awareness of self within the viewer, the imagery suggests cellular motion.

Exobiologic
2003, dim. variable, polyurethane, fiberglass, plaster, steel, flora.
Exobiologic is a pair of biomorphic forms whose skeletal
structures are visible under a flexible, mucilaginous membrane. The
plant components, amorphophallus titanum (Corpse Flower) and araucaria
araucana (Monkey Puzzle Tree), were chosen for their unusual forms
and biological associations. This work hypothesizes the biomorphology
of a breeding pair of otherworldly macro fauna.
