For this body of work I was interested in examining social and cultural concerns regarding privacy, security/insecurity, fear and anxiety as they exist within the suburban environment. The middle class suburban home became the setting for this examination through the use of static and experiential, interactive sculptures that employ audio, photographic and mechanical elements with domestic objects. For a piece titled “Creak Show”, I marked out, with a black “X”, every spot on the gallery floor that made a creak or squeak. At a point during the opening I had everyone in attendance pick a mark and asked them to be silent while they stepped on the mark producing a symphony of creaks. During the “Creak Show” performance, Kristin was in the basement making an audio recording of the performance, which was later played in the gallery space for the remainder of the opening. For another piece, titled “Motion Detection”, motion detectors were wired to lamps located in different areas of the gallery. 250 feet of lamp cord extended the lamp’s cord where a lamp in the first room would be plugged in a different room of the gallery. The cord was suspended from the ceiling by hooks that created a random criss-crossing pattern throughout the gallery space. The motion detectors were wired at a point in the cord where there would be incidental participation from viewers in the gallery and pedestrians outside. As a result of a viewer’s presence in a specific location in the gallery, lamps would be activated allowing the other viewers to become aware of that viewers presence.
