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.
The goal of this project was to recreate the ‘Free Speech Zone’ that was put up in Boston during the Democratic National Convention (July, 2004), while simultaneously addressing the issues surrounding the USA Patriot Act’s effects on the public library system, by placing the ‘Zone’ at both the new and the old entrance to the Boston Public Library. The ‘Zone’ will be, in brief, a ten-foot tall chain-link fence with barbed wire across the top only, entrance gates and possibly, some surveillance equipment. The fence will be constructed in a sculptural manner to imitate a high security holding pen, essentially. On the fence will be several signs saying ‘Free Speech Zone’ as well as a short description of the sections in the USA Patriot Act referring to the public library system and the American Library Association’s response the act.
"Language Generator" (by Lewis Gesner) has been a solo piece, a duet, and ensemble piece, as well as a public workshop project. It had a duration of anywhere from 6 hours to one week. This is what is done. I enter a gallery space with newsprint paper, markers, scotch tape, and a box of objects. For the duration of the piece, I examine the objects, one at a time, and make a noise to go with it, then, a line or symbol on the paper. I then post the result on the walls.

Rainbow Lightning's cavescape inside SPACES recycles objects, clothing, and fabrics to resemble a natural subterranean environment. Personal stories collected over the past year are embroidered on the walls of the cave, like graffiti in a teenager's hideout. The childlike wonder of a plush cave evokes the past that is reflected in the memories delicately sewn to the walls.

documentation of 'shop window exhibition, nottingham december 2005.
i am really interested in how context alters a piece of art and vice versa. i use the same group of objects within my installations, bringing in others found on site. the expectations and connotations brought to the piece are very different depending on the situation eg: a gallery, shop or outdoors. with this ongoing set of work i am interested in how this affects the reading of the piece.
* this piece was constructed in an empty shop window for one day. i am increasingly interested in multi-sited projects, like dropping parts of a story all over the city.
