To Vanish from One's Own Memory
In the piece, To Vanish from One's Own Memory, a 16-foot ladder literally breaks through the office-like paneling of the gallery ceiling, leaving the detritus of its impact on the gallery floor. It is an attempt to break down the structure from the inside-out and consider the conventions and implications of the architecture of the white cube. When viewed from afar, it appears to provide the potential for the relief it implies; however once arriving underneath it, one is confronted by its intrinsic failure: that the white cube extends infinitely upwards. Once again, one is confronted with the reality of the limiting potential of the structure: the ladder is an offering which remains ingenuous or unusable, referencing the idea that “the best Utopias are those that fail the most comprehensively” (7:2004: Jameson). It's a way of forcing oneself to envision a better alternative.

Mysticism and Logic, Hybrid Computation, Man and Nature…
Is it really True That The World Is Becoming Emptied of things? is a series of trompe l'oeil-esque sculptures of books carved out of wood. The title of one of the books, Man and Nature, proclaims that which the show interrogates; the prescribed role of the lone figure in nature. Masculine-dominated narratives surround our notions of the wilderness: of the unknown and of the pleasures of solitary living, i.e. man versus nature, the adventurer who seeks greater knowledge. It is the male shaman who communicates with the spirit world and uses magic to heal, while his female counterpart, the witch, is historically deemed an oppressed figure, condemned for her relationship to the supernatural. The Shamans are celebrated for being an intermediary between the human and spirit worlds. The narrative fuses the idea of the shaman with the witch, where these two beings weave in and out of each other. In occupying this role of the witch/shaman or the maker of magic, we hope to produce a leveling point where there is a possibility that everybody can inhabit the space of magic. The book entitled "Mysticism and Logic" seems to prescribe a recipe for acquiring a deeper understanding of magic, while asking us to consider its paradoxical nature: that a rationalization or a system of logic is needed to qualify that which lies outside of logic and/or to define the indefinable.
