Nesting in Philadelphia
Nesting materials were collected and set up around the city, while the artist and semi-random volunteers were photographed interacting with the installation in the surrounding environment. The piece is meant not only as a personal stage of the artist's life, but also as a statement on the transient nature of our attempts to settle, organize, and control our surroundings.

Abandoned Houses
Forty ceramic houses were dispersed across New York City in sites of personal significance. These sites included parks, bars, pet stores, diners, subway stations, ferries, offices, jobs, and the like. Each house was carefully crafted and uniquely designed for the memory and context of the given site.
