Conversations

Found materials, chairs, artist tape, laxative pills, migraine pills, threads
installation series
2015

“Conversations” are a series of seating arrangement proposals, a choreography of sorts, for the break down of communications as relationships fizzle out. The positions of the chairs, as well as the elements that make it impossible to engage two people in difficult conversations or meet “eye to eye”.

These installations were presented at School of Visual Arts as part of their Mixed Multimedia cohort in New York, NY.
