A Demand which Could only be Satisfied Later
Site specific installation sponsored by The Bass and the Walgreens Contemporary Art Program. Located at 23rd and Collins Ave, South Beach Miami.
A Demand which could Only be Satisfied Later
Appropriation, site specificity, impermanence, accumulation, and hybridization characterize a collection of oddments left over from human endeavors. A Demand which Could Only be Satisfied Later is a site-specific piece developed for the ‘window display’ viewing experience. Referencing notions of allegory, this installation is centered on fragmented methods of visual merchandising to instigate an alternative perspective on utility, and comment on desires to collect for the living space.

Opening Preview January 29, 2016 at 6-9 pm
529 NW 1st Ave, Fort Lauderdale Located in the Fat Village Arts District
The Possibility of an Exit is an immersive installation experience, which invites the viewer to consider a precarious and unlikely path of escape through a volatile hanging obstacle course. This site-specific work utilizes salvaged items cleared from buildings before demolition, architectural elements, fencing, discarded tarps, window blinds, lighting fixtures…. altogether spanning across the structural ceiling supports to form a series of connecting pathways.

Florida Prize in Contemporary Art
The Orlando Museum of Art
'These artists work in a wide array of artistic practices, often combining media and materials in inventive ways. Many are creating work from reclaimed materials and imagery appropriated from historic and popular culture. The diversity of the work seen in the Florida Prize in Contemporary Art reflects the dynamic and challenging nature of art today.'
