Cross-eyed 3D self-portrait. Two photos taken from slightly different angles. Viewed with the right technique, the two photos combine to form an illusionistic three- dimensional image in the mind of the viewer.
The Longest Day, 2011.
A 24-hour recording of my heart-rate from June 21, the summer solstice of 2011, made during a residency at Platform in Vaasa, Finland. For an exhibition at the local art museum, I expressed the recording in terms of birch saplings collected from the forests nearby. Each one of the 1440 saplings represent my heart-rate for one minute of that day.

The Artist as Sculpted by the Students of The Crawford College of Art and Design, 2011
During a residency at the Sirius Art Center in Cobh, Ireland, I organized a figure-sculpting workshop at the Crawford College of Art and Design. The workshop was led by two professors from the college. Students were invited to participate in the workshop. I was the model for the workshop. At the end of the workshop, with the students' permission, I made plaster casts of the sculptures they made of me. The plaster casts were exhibited at the Sirius Art Center in February of 2013.
Heartbeat, 2011
A red bicycle blinker connected to a two-way radio. The radio receives the signal from a second radio that is connected to a heart rate monitor. I wear this heart rate monitor for the duration of the vernissage, and finissage. The beating of my heart is expressed in the blinking of the bicycle light.
