Exhibitions
The Impossible Vase (2002):
A digital projection installation combining elements of perception and computer graphics to create a unique visual experience through light projection. The projected images are cast upon solid objects rather than a traditional flat canvas. This installation will explore perceptual issues by deconstructing visual cues and analyzing the way our minds process visual information into a coherent story. The projected imagery, along with the movement of the three dimensional canvas, will create physical impossibilities to demonstrate when and where our perceptual process collapses. During these isolated moments, we can then analyze the paramount elements contributing to our minds’ interpretation of a cohesive image and draw a correlation that may be applied to computer graphics. This piece was shown in the Olive Tjaden Gallery.
Ghosts (1999):
An interactive video installation with the goal of provoking imagery and feelings amongst its viewers through sound cues. This piece hopes to explore the role of the spectator and how his or her personal experiences govern the perception of certain events. Together with sound, the visual projections should create an ambiguous yet controlled storyline, allowing the viewers freedom to draw their own interpretations based on his or her identification with either the sound clips or visual cues. This exhibition was shown at the Olive Tjaden Gallery.
Images of Summer (1997): A joint photography exhibition created in conjunction with six other students in the Willard Straight Gallery.
