on the one hand...and the other, 2014 (commission by Lexington Art League, )
30” x 12” x *10" dye sublimation on metal, two channel video projections onto open hands, wood frame and dvd players
on the one hand...and the other, 2014 is part of my Acoustic Landscape series of works, where I was thinking about our current ability to quickly make or shape the natural world through genetics, chemicals, and industrialization.
In this piece the viewer holds out both hands to capture two videos: one of the unfiltered landscape and one video which has a filter on it. It takes many hands doing the same processes over and over to make a large scale impact on the land, people and earth. of the universe.
Acoustic Addiction, 2013
video projection onto 6' diameter satellite dish, sound by
Douglas Lucas
Sisyphus, 2009, is a palm sized video projection where the viewers capture the video onto their open hands. The video is of a woman who appears to climb up the viewer's hand but slides back down repeatedly. Each time she slides back down, she draws a line of chalk which appears to mix with the lines of the view's palm. This is another collaboration with choreographer David Ingram. Sisyphus is currently on view at the US Embassy in Stockholm Sweden. In the collection of Ladonna Nicolas and Larry Shapin. (select image to play video and images)

01:02:08 is a 1868 frame loop of a digital video projection which is projected onto 1868 inkjet prints on paper stacked of the 1868 frames of the projected video. The video projection of waving grass is projected onto the stack of printed video prints in order to question the medium of the moving image and its influence on our perception of vision and time.
For this piece, I started with a desire to envision what one minute, two seconds and eight frames would look like in physical mass or form.

Under the Sod, 2003
one channel video projection of the waving grass of the same section of sod projected onto root side of the sod
Under the Sod reflected my frustration in finding very little information on my great-great-grandmother who lived and died in Louisville, Kentucky. This seemed to be the condition of women and their accomplishments in that era. When I finally found the family plot, there were no markers, just a small stone lined grass area in the cemetary.
Lost Worlds, 1998
video projection onto clay vessels
Merging the contemporary media, video projection with an ancient media clay, Lost Worlds was inspired by all of the ruins of past civilizations which eventually created ours.
