 contingere is a sound installation composed of audio renderings of habituating. Increasingly ambiguous within new spatial confines, the sounds emitted from contingere are reminiscent of loss, absence and intimately known mystery. The 20 minute 2 channel audio loop plays continually, echoing through the 9th floor halls of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Sharp Building, 03 Wabash, Chicago, IL, for 168 hours.

installation

weighting, is an installation consisting of over 500 glass jars suspended in space. Highly sensitive to air and circulation changes, the jars created sounds from clinks to chimes when viewers passed. The jars were collected from my friends, peers, family, and affiliates of the gallery; suspending them from the ceiling emphasized their emptiness and removed them from their utilitarian context.
