Initially Fester Spunk created the score for Susan Sandler’s play about Andrew Goldstein’s psychotic break – an incident which resulted in Kendra’s Law being passed in NY State. The play required “something Pink Floydesque.” Fester seemed to grasp the idea, and in the end the weeks of work he/I put into the project was passed over for the real deal, but we were on a role. I went down into the subways of New York and shot a stereoptic train ride which is intended for projection on two opposing screens in order to simulate movement in time to the score.

This installation was created in reaction to the invasion of Iraq after the September 11th Attacks. The piece involved several electronic elements combined in two ammunitions shipping containers repurposed for the piece to hold a small diorama and its accompanying media.

The music for the piece comes from Fester Spunk. Used here with permission.

In the midst of discovering my birth family after thirty years, I began collecting images of unrelated strangers that I found in old Adirondack antique shops. The stress of introducing discovered family to my existing family was somehow offset by creating little poems for the more interesting images that I discovered. the result? A tongue-in-cheek collection of images.
