Specific Sites

This series of sculptures creates and explores spaces that are precisely scaled to the human body. They begin as carefully preserved spatial improvisations that are then subjected to a far longer process of connecting, engineering and refining, giving them the rigor and consideration of carefully calibrated, self-contained systems. The sculptures are also in dialogue with photography, through their assertive attention to framing and vantage points, as well as to painting, through an acute attention to nuances of surface. Without overtly referencing or conjuring the body, they are sculptures about human presence and our consciousness of movement through space.
