Immersion:
Space, Time & Consciousness
Exhibitions and Site Specific Installations
The viewer, the work, and the place in which they come together provide an immersion in space, time, and consciousness. The physical and temporal context is not separate from the art.
In Defiance of Linguistic Determination
Referring to Rembrandt
Referring to Rembrandt is an installation of thirty-two paintings on panel designed specifically for the Women’s Health Resource Center at Sutter Health California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, CA.
In preparing for the installation, I thought about the purpose of the Women’s Health Resource Center and about providing support for women facing different and often difficult challenges. I wanted to create work that would feel calm and uplifting, and interesting to those who would see it day after day over several months.
Shifting Weights
Shifting Weights is a 42-foot installation of 17 paintings on canvas, panel and paper designed specifically for Gallery III in the Sebastopol Center for the Arts in Sebastopol, California.
The work was inspired by a sentence from On Beauty and Being Just by Elaine Scarry in which she uses the phrase “the shifting weights of beautiful things”.
I began the installation with a diptych, two pieces side-by-side. Then, carefully adding the next piece, a triptych. Then another and another until one wall, then two, then three, then four were complete.
