Migration

This series of large drawings/installations is an exploration of the convergence of sculpture, drawing and painting. Each piece is site specific, animating the gallery space using a particular vocabulary of marks, each mark a piece of masking tape. These pieces range from wall to wall, reach up toward the ceiling, slide down to the floor where they spread out over the floor transforming the gallery space into an enormous three dimensional canvas. In these works I explore the possibilities of drawing as a multi- dimensional act: sculpture as an evolution of the line literally drawn in space.

Masking tape, humble, limited and usually the handmaid to higher purposes, takes on a Cinderella role in these works, transformed into something else. But this same misappropriation allows the work to become an interrogation of the aesthetics of mass production, jamming and highjacking endless loop of production and consumption.
