Horizon Line 2010

Horizon Line is a new video installation combining video of an emerging figure projected on tumbleweeds collected on-site with time-compressed desert landscape imagery. 2010

Submerged Ghost 2009

Submerged Ghosts” is an installation that incorporates video projection on pools of water, reflected and subsequently mapped on walls, floor and other sculptural objects. The visual structure of the natural textures is projected from above on the shallow, rregular pools of water. 2009

Image Stream 2007

Image Stream” is a new work in a body of installations thematically related as imaginary landscapes.  Drawing from a variety of visual, sound and media elements, from both natural and man-made environments, the overall structure incorporates video projection on walls, floor and 3D objects.  Rather than water, a metaphoric river is created as a play on ubiquitous media. 

2007 

Rain/Fall video installation 2004

“Rain/Fall” is a DVD installation of white umbrellas, suspended in mid-air, with rear projections on the umbrellas fabric of actual and virtual images and objects falling  like rain.  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. The umbrellas  have audio transducers attached, making the cloth surface of the umbrella effectively a loudspeaker, alternately reinforcing or contradicting the visual imagery. 

Cone Field video installation 2002

“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

Valley Shadows video installation 2002

“Valley Shadows” is a three channel DVD installation. Slowly walking digitally animated figures are projected directly from above, on a topographic bed of large salt crystals.  The slow-motion of the figures is mirrored with the audio, creating an etheral, percussive soundtrack. 2002
