Artwork 2012 - Present

  • Attestant I and II

    Plaster, wood shoring, tiptoes, slaked lime, 2018.

    This outdoor sculpture was based on two cast-iron columns salvaged from a demolition site near the artist's home in Brooklyn. The typical 3-story brick building from 1920 was slated to be demolished and turned into a new high-end apartment building. The columns, one cast in negative, and on in positive, address city dwellers' sense of positive and negative space related to demolition and construction. The columns were held up by wood shoring made from found wood moldings, mostly scavenged from apartment building renovations in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

  • Study in Proportions: Penn Station Façade

    Found wood, paper, plaster, c-clamps, zip-ties and assorted small hardware. 2016

    Created in the James A Farley Post Office (designed by McKim, Mead and White,) the building sits across the street from Penn Station. This installation references a life-size architectural model of the former Penn Station built by Charles McKim, as well as the row houses and buildings that were demolished to make way for the original Penn Station, which was later demolished for the construction of Madison Square Garden.

  • Monument (Tripartite Arch)

    Found wood moldings, plaster, hardware. 2018

    Created on Manhattan's Lower East Side, this artwork references the Renaissance Revival tripartite windows that make up the upper floors of the nearby Rivington House. Originally a school, and later a healthcare facility for HIV and AIDS patients, the building has been embroiled in development-related scandal since its sale in 2016. This work is made of wood salvaged from a local gut renovation of a 1895 building, along with delicate plaster arches fashioned after the historic building. This piece uses the Rivington House scandal as a symbol of backward government, historic beauty and unbridled capitalism.
