With twine and often black light, I make three-dimensional drawings to emphasize obscured elements within recognizable objects and correlate the symbolic with lived experience. Inspired by both the interior and exterior, I look for sites where nature has been permeated by manufactured elements or ways in which structures can communicate certain particulars about the current human condition. My work is multi-sensory and requests participatory involvement: lines expand and contract in space in a visually manipulative manner to engulf the visual senses. I create a kinetic and relational art experience that reawakens for a moment the simple intrigue of looking and encourages the appreciation of spaces for what they are while also examining their hidden meanings. Both natural and synthetic light is used as a drawing medium to bring my sculptural installations to life, the lines becoming ethereal elements that establish otherworldliness and invoke curiosity as they expand and contract in space.
Spatial studies are also conducted in the studio through paintings, prints and drawings, works that emulate my three-dimensional ideas on a two-dimensional plane. Currently that study has evolved from multiple recreations of a shape derived from a basic window installation of a parabolic curve. Each time the shape is reused the composition further deconstructs. Embroidery in these works replicates line used in the installations and breaks the conventional grid of the composition.

“Terminus” (2014) visualized Atlanta’s transportation past, present and future and New York City subway tunnels. It was a multi-media installation created from light, ribbon, string and video. Projection created by Pablo Gnecco, sound design by Adam Babar, armature construction by ExhibitCraft and photography by Steve Moraco. The audience was able to enter “Terminus” and traverse the artwork as if walking through a subway tunnel. This project considers what the city of Atlanta could become if their transportation issues were resolved. The piece was installed in Atlanta, Georgia at the Goat Farm Arts Center for the Hambidge Center of Creative Arts and Sciences Art Auction.

美国艺术家megan mosholder用灯光、丝带、绳子和视频投影将运输主题实物化。“终点站”实现了亚特兰大市的过去、现在和未来的交通网以及纽约市的地铁隧道。游客可以进入和穿越这个充满色彩的空间,错综复杂地交织在一起的绳子。这些绳子从结构内部向外辐射,并将观察者包围在里面。霓虹蓝色和粉色使周围的环境产生颜色渐变而且夜间灯光会投射到这件公共作品上。该项目在山羊农场艺术中心安装,并为hambidge center of creative arts and sciences 竞拍——它考虑了如果亚特兰大解决交通问题后的潜力潜力问题。
