Coreswap, 2005
Process photos
“An environmental testing laboratory was contracted to perform soil borings at two distinct locations within Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, NY. We used a large format camera, justified to each scene, to photograph the truck mounted auger as it bored down through sedimentary layers. The two images were then collaged to form this Rorschach-like tableau.”

Meteorite Inclusions (Meteorite Toss), 2005
Digital C-print 16” x 36”
“Working at the Kohler plumbing manufacturing facility in Kohler, Wisconsin; I collaborated with chemists and technicians to embed iron meteorite fragments within a limited production run of Kohler case iron drinking fountains. Meteorite Inclusions embodies two divergent histories of iron, one story of iron formed in space and the other of iron developed here on earth, a social material. The project is summarized in a series of photographs, a book and a functioning meteorite/water fountain.”
