Installations

Festivals and sacred places are the ideal setting for experiential installations. Viewers in these settings are already primed for non-ordinary experiences, so the defaults to critical distance are replaced by energized curiosity. I consider a project successful when people ask me "how did you make this?" because it means they understand that their awe and wonder is rooted in the material world. It means the sacred is accessible through the everyday. It means joy and connection are products of curiosity and creativity, not mediated solely through cults of expertise. All my installations aim to encourage people to "Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it" (Mary Oliver).
