There there (2004 – 2005)
Referencing the photographic practice of documenting artifacts in a direct manner, There there centers on fabricated found objects and homemade readymades - subjective objects documented objectively.
Spanish Orange (2002-2003)
A distillation of traditional drawing technique to the basic raw language of the line, Spanish Orange is a formal exploration of the color orange and its associations with psychological stimulation.
Before Striking (2001)
The invention of the lighter and anti-smoking campaigns have threatened the extinction of the match. Humanized by its stick figure, Before Striking imagines the fate of match and its quiet desperation.
Afterall (1999-2001)
An installation assembled from found objects, Afterall depicts a community of readymades living in a parallel universe where through each character’s drama all manner of foible and folly are explored.
