2016. 3-D model.
This is an ongoing project where I have been photographing my toys and sculptures photogrametically in order to create 3-D models of them. Putting these photos in Autodesk Memento I then create 3-D models of them, I further edit them superficially but leave them basically as is.
These 3-D models are often imperfect but I leave them that way, showing the imperfections that happen when going between physical objects and digital ones. I then use either of these in performances and images.
2016. Construction paper, glitter, roomba, wood, inkjet prints; 12 x 8 x 1.5 feet.
Autovacuuphagy is an installation where a roomba roams around a confined space. Its only environment consists of printed water and wooden boundaries. Viewers are invited to "feed" it glitter as it continues to suck the glitter up until the roomba cannot anymore. This is a continuous cycle because the roomba can only hold so much; the roomba is continuously emptied and the process continues.
2017. Mixed media, dimensions variable, .
Through a large-scale installation called mantle, I explore how the queer body becomes uncanny to the home through a human sized dollhouse and using scenic design ideas. Home for many is a safe place, but for queers, it can be a difficult one, wrought with not belonging in a childhood of heteronormativity. Being stuck in that heteronormative space is what I communicate through a stage set, composed of four theater flats, printed and collaged wallpaper, free-standing photos mounted on MDF, a giant necklace in a separate room, a performance and impromptu pieces made in the space.
