Artwork overview

Associated Artworks

Wide strips of gray felt, lengths of square aluminum shafts, silver ball bearings, and felt cut up like confetti are scattered across a wood floor in this installation photograph. The aluminum lengths create verticals and horizontals. Some of the felt is cut into squares, which are stacked or splayed, or into longer lengths that crumple like cooked lasagna noodles. The shiny ball bearings are mostly in pairs or trios, carefully placed in rows or columns across the composition. From afar, the felt scraps resemble dirt, also strewn across the space.
