Players & Push

Players involved reading then grinding the book into a pulp. Then rolling them into cigarets. I intended to do this with all the books I read when at graduate school, I made it through half a term, 7 books. 2001
Push is a viewer interactive work shown with the Terminal series of drawings. By pushing the button the viewer activated the mounted sculpture. This sculpture consisted of a video and a rotating earth & moon. This work is the physical manifestation of the drawings, the viewer can never get close enough to fully see the working sculpture. 2007
