In the project "Agnosticism Dissemination Center at Beinecke Library",
I manned a table in Beinecke plaza.
I distributed free coffee, pencils and pamphlets relating to T.S. Elliot's quote
"All knowledge requires belief." The project created moments of absurdity
and also a learning experience. I recorded my conversations with inquisitive Yalies who would
frame my statements inside their own academic interests."

The "Rose Garden Project" reflected my feelings toward the community
of painters at the Yale School of Art. I coaxed all of my classmates to make a painting
of a rose by giving them canvases, hand written notes and chocolates. I displayed their
paintings in a multi-room event where I hung rose quotes and screened a video I made called "Footforum".
For the event I provided cabbage soup and wine. I also installed a temporary public sculpture
of a cabbage-rose bush in front of "Green" Hall.

"Wiggle Room" is made from two- sided, modular,
abstract paintings. Holes cut in the canvas and the haptic architecture of the space
create playful pathways through which a viewer
can move through the painting visually and literally.
The Third Hand Store

The Third Hand Store sign represents a hypothetical project where I buy things from the second hand store,
alter them to increase their symbolic or monetary value, and then donate them back to the store as an act of charity.
