Choose Your Own Adventure
A used bed sheet stretched into a canvas markered with the endless possibilities of a semi-autobiographical
young woman's day long journey is the piece conceived by the
said collective - including members Kerry
Hassler, Nyna Mezan and myself - and was exhibited in the
ABCyz show at the SilverShed gallery in october 2009.
Supra Functional
Materiality is crucial in our daily needs. We constantly desire more and only through quantitative value do
we seem to find satisfaction. Or are we ever satisfied? The absurd logic of our consumerist society is
based on the need for instant satisfaction, which inherently is bound to never really satisfy us. Caught by
the false desire of material surplus we are constantly deceived by the things we consume.
This project take the everyday dinning experience as a metaphor illustrating this oblivious greed for consumption
excess. It is an ironic collection multiplying function to transform everyday objects into rather
un-functional ones. Excess can only prove deceiving. (2008)
Subway Light Project
1st prize winner entry for the 2007 Sustainable Design Review,
the Subway Light Project is a public art concept
that promotes energy saving technology and the well-being of people in urban spaces. The wall acts as a
sunlight flooded-window bringing the outside into the inside. Through the use of fiber optic technology
and patented sunlight collection panels, natural sunlight is introduced in light deprived subway stations.
