Neon Upside-Down N. America rehearsal & Neon S. America Cloud rehearsal

Neon Upside-Down North America rehearsal at Clyfford Still Museum, 2014;

Proposal; Dimensions Variable, Approximately 108” x 84”

Part of a series of upside-down continents being deployed in different media, size, and presentation. A new idea for contemplating these landmasses.




 

Neon South America Cloud rehearsal, 2015;

Proposal; Dimensions Variable, Approximately 60” x 84”

South American continent, with no borders, is flipped horizontally, then rotated 90-degrees counterclockwise, presented high on the wall it resembles a cloud. Presenting a new way of conceiving of place.

Amplified Pencil(s) prototypes

Amplified Pencil(s) prototypes, 2015; material variable, dimensions variable

Soundbox for a pencil. Primitive and analog form of sonification. These rehearsals are constructed of paper. The idea could easily be realized in plastic with 3D printing, or with thin wood like balsa/basswood. Further, the pencil/soundbox could have a contact/piezo microphone attached for even greater amplification and sonic potential.
In the first prototype the pencil is mounted to the soundbox, in later prototypes the soundbox can be removed and any standard diameter pencil can be used.

Three of the initial test drawings, created by diverse groups of 3 to 4 people, with widely varying degrees of drawing experience.
