Virginia Polytechnic University, Armory Gallery,
Blacksburg, 1997
This installation explored the
prehistoric geological seam of the Appalachia. Bisecting
a rectangular 20' x 10' bed of coal, a line of water flowed
down an 18-foot long hemlock beam. Seven circular mirrors
lay within the coal bed, reflecting light onto the gallery's
ceiling. Suspended above the bed on a circular plate
of glass was a small-mummified bird, whose shadow was cast
onto the ceiling.
