Installation Site: Socrates Sculpture Park Queens, New York
Translucent, vacuum formed casts of salvaged doors delineate the architectural floor plan of an absent apartment. The casts are scarred with paint and wood embedded in their surface - remnants from their making. They capture and bend the changing daylight and mirror the high-rises across the East River.

Gold Leaf, Salt and Saliva.
2010
Currently on view at MoMAPS1 Queens, New York.
In a six-month-long performance, 5,000 pounds of salt block was chiseled and the decommissioned iron furnace was slowly covered in gold leaf. The work, which alludes to the alchemical properties associated with salt and gold, is a long-term installation at the museum.
How You Hold Something Inside Matters
Skin dust and water
Dimensions: Variable
2011
This sculpture is comprised of 101 individual units made of skin dust and water. The dimensions of each unit is identical to the dimensions of a standard masonry brick. These “skin bricks” are stacked and arranged to create a porous wall of variable shapes and sizes responding to the site in which it is installed. As one of the Special Projects for 'Untitled' curated by Omar Lopez-Chahoud, “How You Hold Something Inside Matters” was performed by the artist for seven days creating a dynamic evolving line in space.

Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain” is enlarged and abstracted, incorporating forms derived from religious architecture and the human body. A portal allows viewers access to a quiet interior space, where white walls and rib-like arches frame the open sky. Duchamp’s urinal, once infamously placed inside a gallery, becomes a gallery itself.

Inflatable plastic subunits are fastened into a honeycombed network to form a giant Mandelbrot. Four tunnels allow viewers access to an interior space where they are surrounded by an eight-channel soundscape, composed by Wolf + Lamb, that incorporates recordings from the sculpture's fabrication. The desert winds, dust, and temperature variations transform the sculpture into a dynamic entity.
