Historical Reconstruction: Balloon Bridge Historical Reconstruction: Balloon Bridge

Historical Reconstruction: Balloon Bridge is a project that seeks to recall the forgotten history of the Dogpatch neighborhood by temporarily rebuilding a portion of San Francisco's first transportation artery, the Long Bridge, out of balloons.

Conversation Pieces Conversation Pieces
Chalkboard Paint, Chalk, Wheatpaste, Paper
2007

Conversation Pieces is borne out of the belief that many of the ills plaguing today's society can be attributed to the fundamental lack of meaningful communication between people. The project addresses this issue by providing a forum for people to share ideas and have asynchronous dialogues without requiring them to physically interact in real time or to know the person they are conversing with. The chalkboards were eventually removed by the city in the Fall of 2007.

Counting for Ruby Counting for Ruby
Post-It Notes and Wheatpaste
2007

Counting for Ruby illuminates the excessive amounts of discrimination and violence that transgender people are subjected to in our culture. It also is meant to serve as a running memorial for Ruby Rodriguez, a murdered transgender sex worker. By keeping her memory alive, the project seeks to proliferate the idea that hate crimes against trasngender people are not acceptable and that her murder remains unsolved. The project was eventually removed in late 2007 by the city.

Counting for Ruby Funny Games
Found Dartboard, Toilet Paper, Playing Cards
2007

In the tradition of Marcel Duchamp's Readymades, Funny Games is an installation that seeks to revive the moment of neo-patriotism that emerged post 9/11 and to comment on how our distance from the daily realities of the war allows us to look at war as a game.

New Years Resolutions [insert history here]
Mixed Media
2006 - present (ongoing)

This project attempts to augment popular history and to create asynchronous dialog with facts and ideas that are contributed not by the status quo, but rather by individuals by archiving the instllation of self-made historical plaques that commemorate details of personal, familial, and communal histories.
