"a year and one day" - November 2013
In November 2013, nearly a year to the day of the beginning of construction, "a year and one day" stands proud and tall on the grounds of Longue Vue House and Gardens in New Orleans, Louisiana. Created to slowly be overgrown with plant-life (both indigenous and invasive) and deteriorate with time, this site-specific time-based artwork continues to evolve. Step inside this tomb and contemplate the cycle of life and death. Light filters through a water prism in the ceiling to create a place of passivity.
