Glasslands Gallery was an artist run exhibit space and later a music venue that operated in Williamsburg from 2007-2014. For its closure, I proposed a video installation consisting of three video screens placed above the entrances to the three restrooms. 

The videos were suggestive of the fluids that have been evacuated in the space, but beautified with an aesthetic more commonly associated with food and cosmetic advertising. I wanted to present the idea that relieving oneself is a glorious, beautiful, and pleasurable moment employing the same visual language used to sell a delicious beer or hot fudge sundae.  These videos are meant to offset the existing aesthetic challenges posed by the space and accentuate the filthy comfort of the club experience. 

Currently in development, The Panoctagon consists of a large octagonal structure placed at the central most point of a museum. Visitors are invited to enter the "cockpit" of the structure, wherein they will have control of a series of cameras and audio devices hidden throughout the museum. The visitor engages in surveillance of other patrons in the museum, and also has ability to utilize hidden speakers to communicate anything they choose to their subject with complete impunity. 

I directed this music video as part of a collaboration with Brooklyn based synth duo Final Bloom. The primary inspiration was the opening credits to Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film. I always liked the fast paced camera move through some vague but ominous cavern that was ultimately revealed to be the iconic "Bat" logo. I thought it would be fun to apply this kind of commercial branding technique to a band that has a very niche appeal. 

"I'll Be Gone" is a track off of Final Bloom's debut album Sacrificial Pleasures. Check them out here

Part behavioral experiment part sculpture, The Conduit consists of a set of binoculars affixed to a plexiglass and wood lectern. The binoculars are pointed at small box fixed to a wall 15 feet away. When a viewer stands at the lectern and looks through the binoculars, a shift in the lighting in the room occurs and an image appears in the box on the wall. A fragrance of lavender is released into the viewers nose, and faint music eminates from the direction of the image. The image is not entirely clear through the binoculars. Should the viewer leave the lectern and attempt to approach the image, the entire installation shuts off and reverts to its initial state.

This is an interactive sculpture featuring 3 video helmets. Each helmet had a video screen that told one of three versions of the death of a young man. 

This was a collaboration with Chris Harring and Red Star KGB out of Baltimore

3 paintings in acrylic on various reclaimed wood surfaces. The imagery came from old family photos, I omitted the background in favor of the natural wood grain. The end result is a portion of a specific memory tethered to a repurposed object and made generic.
