Moving (2008)

Moving is an installation comprised of small-scale, usually ephemeral, gene­rally kinetic and sometimes inter­active lo-tech, jerry-rigged, short and simple work that champions the underdog of everything. Motivated by the impulse to redefine value, the seemingly makeshift ‘good enough for now’ sculptures invite the viewer to consider how value is assigned and the arbitrary and fleeting nature of importance.
