This was a site specific installation I designed for the Walker Gallery. It included a curtain that I made, a chair from my apartment, some of the handpainted wallpaper cut into the shape that the light created in the space and a sound component:

Wallpaper in the sound installation.

I incorporated this inconveniently placed light switch panel into the installation. This is the first show this season in which the light switch box did not feel out of place. Plugged into it are some speakers playing:

"THE CHERUBS!" (quotation from the audio piece)

This was the work displayed on the largest wall in the main gallery (across from the sound installation). Slides of these can be seen in other galleries:

This installation shot was not part of the original arrangement in the show, but I decided to include it anyway.
