Endless Dream - Installations

Explore the rooms by clicking on the different works.

The space between the self and reality. To subtract, to take away, is to reveal a metaphysical space. To create an infinite space: cutting out a hole, or creating a black hole with charcoal. Circles, dots, cells, atoms, grains of sand, confections, confetti, orifices,


to replicate and accumulate, to show the liquid nature of meaning constantly changing to conform to changing situations An icon is invested with meaning through repetition. To accumulate is to exaggerate the size and transform the meaning. Eva Hesse says to make something large makes it funny.



When I was growing up, my mom checked out back issues of Good House Keeping, Redbook. They held the instructions on how to be the perfect homemaker. She checked out Vogue and Glamour, too. How to be a beautiful woman. I poured through those as well as Seventeen and American Girl and learned to put light make-up on the top of my nose, darker make-up on the sides, to make it appear taller, Caucasian. How to not look different. How to look "American."
