BLACK AND LIGHT (2007)
118" x 281" (Site Specific)
Kleinert James Center of The Arts
Woodstock, NY For this installation
and resulting video an existing window
and it's surrounding architecture were
utilized. The site, The Kleinert-James
Center for The Arts in Woodstock, NY.
On July 20, 2007, when the hours of
daylight are practically equal to those
without. The large North facing window
at the end of the gallery was masked and
reconfigured with multiple layers of
translucent materials, contrasting the
fluctuations of light and received
shadows from the window with the space
around it (this was painted a most
recessive black.) This installation
successfully distilled all incoming
information to light and shadow and
projected to the interior, the
ever-changing patterns in the natural
world.

DISSOLUTION (2009)
The Dorsky Museum
144" x 144" x 144" Nylon, tape,
aluminum
DISSOLUTION utilizes four existing
columns and a central skylight at the
entryway to The Samuel Dorsky Museum, at
SUNY New Paltz. Using multiple layers
of translucent fabric stretched floor to
ceiling around the white pilasters, a 12
ft cube was created that traps the
ambient natural light and that from the
skylight above. Reflective surfaces
hidden inside the resultant cube amplify
the sunlight and inflect the reflected
light then diffused as it travels
through the fabric, creating atmospheric
space which modulates the natural light
specific to any moment of a given day.
