Oklahoma Stone House, stone, mahogany, forge steel, rope, copper, 2007
Desolate Memories of Prosperity, cast iron, cast aluminum, found object, steel, brick, 2019

Oklahoma Stone House is made from carved stone from chalk hills in Johnston county, Oklahoma. The carved house form is tensioned between to pieces of mahogany wood that is balanced on a forged mount. On one end hangs a rope connected to the wood that allows the viewer to tug on the form so it rocks the entire form. The work talks about the instability of a home depending on the influence of the outside.

​Desolate Memories of Prosperity is based on a reflection of a cotton processing building on Mobile bay used for loading ships. The work is about the memory of a different time, economy, and way of providing for the home. Its cast facility and home sit upon the cast iron landscape of bubble wrap that looks like rows planted in a field. The field sits upon an old cotton scale base that weighs the heavy memory. The work is about providing not just for the home and family but an industry built upon a darker time in our history.
