Installations and specific displays
I started using multiple objects in a single display since the early 2000's as a graduate student. At first to create specific displays, and later larger environments. My thesis exhibit was based around two installations that took a year to create. These large-scale projects typically involve many individual objects made from porcelain casts. I also recently started using industrial porcelain plates. The complexity, scale, and time required to execute these works is challenging. Considering this, all works that belong to this series are shown in this section, including those that were displayed more than once in different spaces. Each project represented in this section was documented while being publicly displayed.
