Installations
Year-long installation (2017-18) as the centerpiece of the Iovine Young Academy’s Garage
Meet Mike
This installation titled "Mike" is on permanent display in the Interlochen Center for the Arts’ art building's spray booth. The mysterious octopus-type figure is wearing a gas mask while spraying toxic gray clouds around him. Under the gray clouds, newspaper articles about incidents in which humans have greatly damaged the environment are layered. The figure’s tentacle-like legs are squeezing the life out of the globe it is sitting on. It is also wearing a white collared shirt. Interpret this as you will.
I made this installation with Sydney Denham to comment on the way industry is carelessly polluting and damaging the planet. I really wanted to create a large, dark, and meaningful piece.
