To Trace A Sunbeam 2024 — Traveling Exhibition
Salvaged automotive mirrors, asphalt Outmoded projectors 4–6 channel video Site responsive, 36 x 40 x 12'

To Trace A Sunbeam is an installation of hundreds of salvaged automotive mirrors, asphalt, outmoded projectors and four to six channel projected video. Each iteration evolves from the previous, finding new compositions and connections to the site in which it is installed.

I salvage the automotive mirrors from scrapyards and city streets; as my collection grows, each iteration becomes more dramatic, adding additional channels of video to activate more material, or with new video to continue to evolve and expand this work.
