White Ring

This past weekend I participated in the Sequence of Waves exhibition organized by the collective Rabid Hands. After a 10 day residency in the St. Cecilia's convent in Greenpoint, the show opened for 1 day only on January 29th.

I collaborated on an installation with Phillip David Stearns. Our project was inspired by the meditative, hyper-aware state one experiences in a remote winter time setting. Phillip constructed a string instrument tensioned between the floor and ceiling that was triggered by stillness. Motors with fishing wire attached to them were set off in succession, striking the strings to build a layered and dense sound. I constructed the crystalline light boxes that ran around the room in a dark to light gradient, suggesting peripheral vision and highlighting natural textures. These structures were joined in the center by a backlit seamless, an infinite space. Movement that altered the light from these fixtures would in turn silence the undulating strings.

Here is a write up on the Rhizome blog.

the cantry

Jenn Su and friends have organized a POP UP shop and communal space in LA. I submitted a small run of a zine I'm calling Już Dziś (roughly meaning now/today/already in Polish), each example is paired with a 1 1/4" button of a collaged image.
