Conversation Pieces (Multiples)

Conversations we wish we were having...

The Conversation Series works are an open invitation to engage and share with the touchable, readymade objects. The interactive installation instigates unexpected conversation opportunities for friends, family, or strangers.

I explore opportunities for viewers to experience moments of self-reflection and engage in spontaneous and ongoing face-to-face conversations in community spaces.

"The Difference Between Them"

An interactive, collaborative installation exploring social connections and understanding between the blind and the sighted.

Participants explore their thoughts, feelings, words, ideas, or other expressions, when interacting with the artwork. Bringing viewers together to learn and share their insights about texting and Braille.

Artists' Collaboration Book with WPB Artist Gillian Kennedy Wright

"Where The Past, Present, Future Meets"

The inspiration behind this book is to navigate the viewers to physically engage and interact with the book materials for exploring others' personal culture, history, and storytelling about empowerment.

"PRE_TEXTING"

"Pre-Text" is a playful indoor/outdoor mixed media sculpture installation about how we use texting and how it relates to everyday life.

The focus of the installations are on how we communicate by texting versus speaking face to face. Phone/Flashlight Inspired — 500 pieces, wood circles, reflective white paint.

Play With Your Food

Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, WPB. Collaboration with Gillian Kennedy Wright.

"Soulful Noodles" is made with soft foam, air-conditioning foam, and fabric, 4ft × 6ft. We saw this new work as an opportunity for exploring where art, food and conversation come together for a meal. Our soft sculpture pieces are playful, interactive, and most of all challenging the notion of not touching the art, while playing and touching the art.

A Wish List For A Shelter — 2009

The HomeBase Project

The HomeBase Project, an international site-specific public art project devoted to exploring a contextual and interdisciplinary exploration of the archetype of home. As part of the 2009 HomeBase outreach team of artists, "A Wish List for A Shelter" engaged and collaborated with the community in a site-specific room collecting items for the Henry Street Settlement shelter, lower East Side, NYC.

Wish List2Go (2010) — An interactive art installation in the Barnes & Noble Store, Lincoln Triangle Location, NYC. A hundred photographs and interviews were collected from various locations throughout New York City and from the internet to be included into the installation. Donations were collected for the Henry Street Settlement Shelter and Homes For The Homeless.
