Read on for more about what she has to say about being a "designer of instances" . . .
"I am a designer of instances. I conceive and produce immersive-sculptural environments for my viewer centric practice. The 21st century has accumulated an abundance of refuse & discarded materials, in which I seek to uncover found objects hidden potentials. By gathering materials, I build structures to craft a theater of a yet-to-exist future. I have developed a post-appocalyptic narrative entitled, Themselves Has Been a Gathering. From the narrative, I have developed meditative spaces for our future human selves called Vessels. Both sculptural and interactive, the Vessels act as a garrette, or club house. The viewer must abandon habits and learn to ‘play’ by act of crawling into the space and re-vitalizing a sense of wonder, exploration and imagination.
At the Westcott Community Art Center, Vessel #3 (made from car head lights) will be on exhibit from July 1 - July 27th 2010. From September 11 -30th 2010, I will be attending the Baie Sainte-Marie Artist and Family Residency at the Jenny Family Compound in New Edinburgh, Nova Scotia. During my stay, I will complete a floating Vessel, which will return with me to Syracuse to be part of a large scale installation. Next year, May - October 2011, there will be a public arts installation of my Vessel series at Lipe Art Park in Syracuse, NY. There will be a total of 4 Vessels encased in
their own geodesic plexi-glass domes and a theatrical event during the night of the opening....it will be an event to remember!"
