Rational Body: red attic
In this installation, I transformed a white gallery room into an intimate space by constructing a red silk drop ceiling. The translucent red silk lowered the ceiling height to 7 feet and gave the room a gentle glow, changing how people interacted within that space. Central to this piece is a grid of diffused lights that nurtures the grass below. The silhouette of the figure in grass signifies the afterthought, the progression of time, and the remainder of a human. It suggests both the absence and presence of a person, both death and life.
Rational Body: foothold
Similar to red attic, this piece contrasts the ethereal with the tangible. It deals with the dislocation between the rational mind and the emotional body. This idea manifests itself in a silhouetted figure composed of hundreds of tiny bulbs separated from modeled ceramic feet.
