Exhibition Description:
The 4-5 works using overhead projectors, bingo chips and transparencies are an extension of this work:

I am using the layering of manufactured materials, in this case organizational stickers on glass, to work with, color, form and integrated lighting. In the new work I am replacing the organizational stickers with bingo discs stacked on overhead projectors, producing similar scale to my other works but through compressed means. Conceptually, the work becomes both an object and its image.

I will also have a video of a ride down Congress Ave from 290/71 to the Capitol with only green lights.
My powerpoint presentation ("artist talk") on the subject of scale is also a main focus of this exhibition. The room is relatively small, so if space allows I will also be showing the proposal works for the 3 recent large-scale projects I have proposed but were unable to be built - Cement Wave, Glass City, Tent City.
