"Ocean View" was an installation piece in which the viewer could use their phone or the provided, mounted tablet to turn a static image on the gallery wall into a video that, through the device's screen, appears to be a part of the wall. This is done through the use of augmented reality. It won "Best in Show" at Bowie State University's Spring 2014 Student Art Exhibition.
"Music of the Spheres" is an installation piece in which a collection of plastic globes on a mobile rotate within a 4'x4'x2' box. The back of the box is a florescent ceiling light with a vertical polarizing filter. The front is a glass panel with a series of horizontal polarizing filters. When two polarizing filters are placed perpendicular the block nearly all light from passing through. The exception is that objects that effect the polarity of light waves (such as acrylic plastic or cellophane tape) can allow light to become visible again. The gaps in the filter allow the viewer to see the mobile and light without the polarizing effect. It won "Best in Show" at Bowie State University's Fall 2013 Student Art Exhibition.
"Luminocity" was my first artistic endeavor using polarized light. It allowed me to experiment with the medium which paved the way for "Music of the Spheres." It won "Best in Show" at Bowie State University's Fall 2011 Student Art Exhibition.
"Mobile in Light" was part of my Senior Thesis exhibition. A collection of theater quality light gels cut into triangles hang on a mobile in front of a set of pin spots. The focus of the piece is not the mobiles and lights but rather the image they project upon the blank wall opposite.
"A Twisted State of Affairs" Is a mixed media sculpture created with ordinary coat hooks on a wooden board. The hangers are made from 12 gauge wire that was twisted into shape by hand.
"Read Between the Timelines" was a group project by the students of Professor Gina Lewis' Museum, Gallery & Studio Seminar class at Bowie State University. The installation filled the entire gallery of the MLK building. The glass windows of the gallery were filled with silhouettes representing styles of dress and dance from the last 50 years. The boards in the center of the room were covered with cover art from albums, video games, and movies. The back wall was a collage of images and headlines of strife, conflict and major events.
