Like Luck (installation)

2022

dimensions vary

Four sculptures are staged to create an analog projection onto a custom scrim. The work references home furnishings and is inspired by growing up with my father who organized the apartment we lived in together in non-normative ways. For him, object staging was a mystical practice that involved visions and communications that were beyond consensus reality. In the installation, diagrams are abstracted, a sculpture creates projections, and household objects align in oracular fashion.The project takes visual language from Enlightenment era Rational aesthetics, such as mystical diagrams, a mad mathematician's geometric schematics, and CA seismographic data and converts their claims of coherence into an abstracted and poetic experience.
