TEN THINGS, 2010/ TEN THINGS, 2010

Ten Things, 2010/ Ten Things, 2010, 2010

Two simultaneous mixed-media installations.


This installation is based on the first and second set of ten commandments as given by God to Moses in the Old Testament. Each set of ten things is complete and believes itself to be alone, yet the two sets of ten things exist simultaniously and reflect one another.

PRAYING TO DUST, 2010

Praying to Dust, 2010

Performance, 1 hour


Two people dressed in garbage bags sway and hum in an attempt to communicate with a plastic bag taped to an electric fan. The fan blows the garbage bag up and it sways slowly. The two performers dressed in garbage bags look and move just like the fan wrapped with a garbage bag.
