​UNIQUE WORKS & COLLABORATIONS
​Conversation Pieces (Multiples) Conversations we wish we were having...


The Conversation Series works are an open invitation to engage and share with the touchable, readymade objects. The interactive installation instigates unexpected conversation opportunities for friends, family, or strangers. 

​I explore opportunities for viewers to experience moments of self-reflection and engage in spontaneous and ongoing face-to-face conversations in community spaces.


​"THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM"

AN INTERACTIVE, COLLABORATIVE INSTALLATION EXPLORING SOCIAL CONNECTIONS AND UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE BLIND AND THE SIGHTED.  

​Participants explore their thoughts, feelings, words, ideas, or other expressions, when interacting with the artwork. Bringing viewers together to learn and share their insights about texting and Braille.

PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD
​
Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, WPB.
Collaboration with Gillian Kennedy Wright.

"Soulful Noodles" is made with soft foam, air-conditioning foam, and fabric, 4ft x 6ft.  We saw this new work as an opportunity for exploring where art, food and conversation come together for a meal.  Our soft sculpture pieces are playful, interactive, and most of all challenging the notion of not touching the art, while playing and touching the art.

​"Lost In Translation"

​The hybrid object is a transplant structure made from plexiglas, representing a symbolic connection to a recipe keepsake box filled with family histories.  Two family recipes have been passed onto me, one from my Grandmother and the other from my Mother-in-Law, representing my mixed cultural heritage.  My Grandmother's recipe is difficult to decipher since it is in her own shorthand writing in Russian and not very legible.  My Mother-in-Law's recipe is in my handwriting, when we had been cooking together: a rite of passage, sharing her cooking directions, my first Jewish Holiday dinner in New York.  Today with both family members gone, neither recipe can be duplicated to their original tastings or memories but both recipes have similar facsimiles of the old favorites.

The HomeBase Project, an international site-specific public art project devoted to exploring a contextual and interdisciplinary exploration of the archetype of home.  As part of the 2009 HomeBase outreach team of artists, "A Wish List for A Shelter" engaged and collaborated with the community in a site-specific room collecting items for the Henry Street Settlement shelter, lower East Side, NYC.
