Altered place was an installation that was made to engage the architecture of the building, by covering the large windows of the art gallery it brought them to the forefront of the viewers attention. This allowed for an alternate type of visual experience for the viewer to interact with feature of the space, natural lighting of the building, that may have otherwise gone overlooked.
Illumination is an installation that was set up at two seperate location at different time periods. This was implemented by my a desire to see or feel a sense of the sunset, the first was in Oregon and the last two during the winter in North Dakota, were a sometimes a vibrate colorful sunset can be scarce. They were quick set up installations that played on the use of natural light of a window to provide illumination for the space, the use of simple colored vinyl to tint the color into something unique.
Interactive art installation, approaching from the outside the sign read “Yellow” in blue text, the room looked yellow. Upon entering you found a blue lit space, if you were brave enough and hit the light switch it flipped the entire room yellow. The central piece of the installation was a block of plexiglass mounted on a concave wall, this was lit by external natural light from beyond the room and the viewer would see a shift in their perception of it’s color depending on if the room was blue or yellow.

Immersive environment installation, almost entirely red allowed for viewers to see the perceptual changes in color of the lone fluorescent light and the natural light from underneath the door shift in intensity to a very striking cool blue and a deep green respectively.
Black Prism was an immersive, small-scale installation designed as a one-person booth, enveloped entirely in black. Upon entering, visitors encountered two angled walls extending outward from the doorway. Above, a reflective surface created a striking visual interplay. The walls were backlit with red and blue lights shining through pegboard, producing a dynamic and captivating effect. Combined with the reflection, this lighting created the illusion of a much deeper, expansive space.
Red Sky was probably the biggest installation I have ever done, covering a massive skylight with red fabric shifting and tinting the typical blue light of the window to something new, which allowed for other colors in the space to become more prominent.
Exploration of mass forms varying size, materials and color.
Culmination of my undergraduate work and the exploration of the Mass Forms in various mediums and art processes, and a real indicator of work to come with light.
Incandescence a light installation that involved the use of thirty-two light bulbs and twenty-four, three-way switches. An experiment on the mass forms with and interactive component, allowing viewers to directly engage in the work and alter it in random unwitting ways.
Interactive installation that focused a red and blue light through a glass pane onto a white wall, the piece included a set of dimmers that allowed the viewer to directly manipulate and engage with the work.
