so the last 3 images and this one are from an installation entitled "altar ego" which i made in the fall of 2005- immediately post Hurricane Katrina and heavily influenced by images of random articles swept into conjunction
i already saw the world this way in my crowded brain
that seems to hold onto everything
"altar ego" happened in a 500 square foot garage that had been the headquarters for PacificSwitchboard
a collective gallery
we thought the building was going to be torn down when we vacated
so i built this intending it to be crushed
when plans changed
i invited the public to help destroy and remove my work
this was a blast!
some remains got saved
