Work in Progress, this is a detail from Linear Anagram, Installation Three. Each of the three pieces that comprise this pyramid is 4'x4.' The composition of the installation is "industrial papier-mâché," comprised of cement and shredded documents on linen on board. What you can’t experience via the photograph is that embedded in the lighting box that radiates light from the floor are iPods with miniature speakers playing chant recordings of the same phrases of the shredded documents in the piece.
