recent work

Marcel Duchamp

I wanted to explore Duchamp's fascination with wordplay in my piece, therefore in the spirit of his ready-mades I found a "playful phrase" on the internet that was not made by me and I used simple line to make it a piece of work. "a plateau is a high form of flattery" is a phrase that speaks to me because i believe that in life after every period of experiential growth follows a plateau period from which we can flatter ourself(s) with reflection and fascination.

 

Gabriel Orozco

For this piece i wanted to like Cornell, remove a part or a quality of an object, or to change it somehow to show it in a completely new light. I photographed translucent containers under a spotlight to show not their function, but the beautiful light shapes that they emit.

 Eugene Atget

for Atget , after researching him i learned that he considered his photographs to be documents. and the entirety of his work documented specific parts and angles of old Paris in a personal and intimate way. I learned that his work was specifically valuable because Paris dramatically changed shortly after his documentation of it. I created a documentation of my current state of mind. I wrote down, in a free flowing manner, different statements exploring different angles of thinking that explore my current state of mind. I used a standard sheet of paper and wrote in pencil without correcting spelling errors to keep it personal and to represent the fact that it is a non-permanent "current" documentation, one that will most probably change. I covered the paper with a clear plastic protector that can be lifted. I would present the piece tacked to a wall, such as one would tack a document. 

 

John Cage "a walk around my block"

For this piece I went on a ten minuet walk around my block and collected 5 organic objects that I found throughout 5 separate moments of my walk. Each viewer is instructed to open only one box leaving the specific moment in my walk that the viewer experiences , completely up to chance.

 Oldenburg

this piece was inspired by Oldenburg's hanging sculptures and their sudo-sexual innuendos

Donald Judd

For this piece i wanted to place a sires of objects that were not made by me, but by nature, in a way in which they would become singular non metaphorical entities containing an inside and outside space witch could be aesthetically contemplated

Joseph Cornell

After Cornell's shadow boxes, I made a Self-map in a jar that extends outward. The jar encloses a strange terrarium that looks membrane like and entangled. I placed a circle and wrapped wooden stick to represent my feminine and masculine sides and I made a small flute out of clay to represent a personal core grounding.
