Cone_Field

Cone Field is a work that incorporates layers of sound and multiple video projections with sculptural objects through a juxtaposition of natural and synthetic textures on geometric forms.  The imagery on the tape is digitally masked so that the projection falls only on the objects, with no spillover to the background or floor. Texture and text are rhythmically interwoven.  The texture drifts into manipulated landscapes and the text creates a hidden self portrait of personal identification -- numbers that uselessly appear in written English, an obsolete abstraction-- both raising iconographic questions.  2000-2004
