This dripping light bulb sculpture reflects my desire to push material properties, developing a visceral language articulated in ice, beeswax, clay, hair and light to produce nuanced mood. This is a video object and a performative sculpture, a dripping light bulb of alchemic, awe-filled passion. It is a discovery in making light tangible, where dripping light bulbs sweat beeswax on the floor. Linda Austin will activate each individual bulb and respond as it begins its 20-minute sweat, marking time in drips. Hung as a new topography in the space’s ceiling, this is a room of raining light.
Ps: It is pitch black inside my stomach.

“If you see something, say something.” Really? On the subway, I still see smiling readers, curious tourists, loving couples, and laughing teenagers. What do I report? The now infamous New York City subway dictate “if you see something, say something,” confiscated our eyes and paired perception with suspicion. To look is to help us [ the police] interrogate and convict. In this atmosphere of hostility and numbness, I refuse to surrender my eyes. I swing my way to work, taking the monotonous commute to the playground with an innocent act. The swing encourages collective imagination. Please take a turn. The swing has a double life, living incognito as a functional bag. I accept commissions for bags here, but you can also make your own with a gym bag and rope, three belts connected together, or a normal swing. The L train has the best posts with spacing for swings, but please tell me where else you make it work.
