Invisible Avenue: An Exploration in Color, 2013
Collaboration with Brad Carney
A monochrome mural on three dimensional panels blends into a wall of painted stripes. The cityscape painted on the panels is disconnected, only coming into focus from a single vantage point outside of the lot where all of the panels appear perfectly aligned. As one enters the lot in front of the mural, the illusion breaks and the separation between the panels breaks the image, revealing vibrant stripes of color painted on the reverse side of the panels.
Created for the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym, in collaboration with Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Art Education program.
Camo Cones (Hiding in Plain Site), 2011
Building on the (illegal) Philadelphia tradition of saving curbside parking spaces with garbage cans, lawn chairs, and other household junk, The Space Savers Project called upon local artists to create site-specific sculpture to reserve a parking spot. Rather than stand out like the fluorescent orange pylon typically would, Camo Cones are wrapped in photographic images of their immediate surroundings, blending into the environment and hiding in plain sight.
Dead End, 2006
Twelve concrete bombs are scattered in small clusters across a 270-foot long section of abandoned road.
Part of the 2006 Newburgh Sculpture Project in Newburgh, NY.
The Eastern Sun passing through a cone and made orange, 2004
A traffic cone, penetrating a small semi-circular concrete wall at the intersection of South & Montgomery streets in Newburgh, NY, points East towards the Hudson River. The cone creates an opening in the wall, connecting the city with the waterfront on the other side. As the sun’s light passes through the embedded traffic cone, an orange glow is emitted from the cone’s interior and is cradled within the curve of the wall.
Part of the 2004 Newburgh Sculpture Project in Newburgh, NY.
Total Break Not to Exceed Maximum Time on Meter, 2003
A double-headed parking meter, painted to match the building’s trim, was installed on the front steps of an artists’ studio building. The time allotted for each break was designated as a tongue-in-cheek way to regulate artists’ lunch and cigarette breaks to keep productivity at top levels.
SINGLE BREAK (6 min.) – Insert Nickel
DOUBLE BREAK (12 min.) – Insert Dime
EXTENDED BREAK (30 min.) – Insert Quarter
Two Tons of “Take That!” (on wheels), 2001
A handmade concrete jersey curb with ten rubber caster inset on its underside was rolled through Lower Manhattan in May of 2001. The moving barricade was used to draw an imaginary and temporary boundary through space, until the weight of the sculpture caused the collapse of it’s wheels. The broken wheel fragments were collected and later used in making the sculpture, Vitrine containing wheel fragments crushed beneath two tons of concrete.
Speedbump, 2000
Speedbump was bonded to a subway platform with epoxy resin, where it remained glued for four months before being removed. Part of Insufficient Fare, a guerilla-style group exhibition installed at the NYC MTA Second Ave/LES subway station. The traffic cones and barricade tape were placed the day after installation by transit workers who were unaware of the artwork.
