Witness, 1956

Witness, 1956 is an abstracted map of the University of Alabama campus, marking the violent protests which took place during the first attempt at racial integration at the school. The only named physical landmark on the map is a live oak tree. The other locations on the map are indicated only by the events that transpired there, and a date. Witness, 1956 is a physical retracing of history, linking the past to the present.

The structure is a french-fold, a single piece of paper folded 2 times across the horizontal and vertical axis.

Dehydrated Condensed Love Letters

Opened and digested love letters serve as relics of being in love. The condensed love letters in this book are from the large and unruly collection I accumulated in high school and college (time has not diminished the excessive overflow of angst and hormones in these letters). They have been soaked in water, folded into bouillon-shaped cubes and dried to serve as generic talismans for love. Each box contains 5 condensed love letters.

1″x2″, box: archival inkjet, 2004.

Bridge Book

New York City is not located on solid land. It is a nebulous web of islands strung together by bridges, perched precariously on the edge of the continent. This is a collection of the names of all the major bridges in New York City.
