Empty Spaces (in two dimensions)

Living Room (2014-15) is from the Empty Spaces project. This part of the project features two or more paintings each measuring 130” x 140”. One of the two paintings displayed paintings is on 20 pristine cardboard panels (each 26” x 40”) while the other is on used, hence distressed, panels of cardboard. The accompanying sculpture of living room furniture is displayed in front of a stenciled pattern resembling wallpaper. The wallpaper pattern is also painted on used panels of cardboard.

The components of the project are paintings, (sometimes in multiples} executed by means of hand-cut stencils and sculptures of some of the furnishings represented in the paintings. The sculptures are constructed of stacked cardboard and are built to be life size.

Empty Spaces (installations)

Sitting Room (2015) is part of the Empty Spaces project which deals with furnished rooms. Individuals do not occupy the rooms, though the presence of the furniture makes human occupation a tantalizing possibility. The components of the project are paintings, (sometimes in multiples} executed by means of hand-cut stencils and sculptures of some of the furnishings represented in the paintings. The sculptures are constructed of stacked cardboard and are built to be life size. The cardboard installations take on the character of stage settings without an accompanying narrative.

Empty Spaces/ installations

Empty Spaces/ Fear Nothing features unoccupied rooms whose furnishings can only suggest human presence. These appear as virtual stage sets awaiting human presence and interaction. The sculptural ensembles are props. There is a hollowness or void at the center of these objects that, to my mind, is reminiscent of the facades of buildings in old Hollywood westerns. But the actual scale of the images and objects invites viewers to project themselves into the settings, thus momentarily occupying the emptiness. In this way the viewer provides the narrative, which can be as simple as imagining oneself sitting in a chair or as elaborate as a Chekhov dinner party.

Insomnia 2008-2012

Insomnia is a condition of absence and desire. One has insomnia in the way one has any other thing, but it is an absence, the absence of sleep. The project incorporates five sets of pieces, each of which can stand alone as an independent statement, however, the sets were conceived as flexible modules that may be combined into an installation involving a variable number of components. Digital elements as well as physical media that rely on stencils, formulae and other reproducible forms for its realization, emphasize the theatrical nature of exhibition. Components may be reconceived or refabricated to address particular spaces or situations. The Insomnia project has been shown in whole or in part in exhibitions variously titleed Insomnia, The Same Thing Every Night, Up All Night and The Late, Late Show.
