This is a variable-sized installation of the ongoing series, Parts Per Million. The title represents the scientific unit-of-measure abbreviated as ‘ppm’.
This measurement is used to calculate the presence of a substance or particle within a given volume: for example, the presence of a contaminant in water or air. The higher the ppm, the higher the toxic load.
The work calls attention to the ongoing necessity of protecting the earth’s resources from increasing pollution such as oil spills, carbon emissions, and other airborne industrial by-products.

This is a miniature bas-relief tableau cast in heavily fragranced white soap. It employs the iconography of incarceration to represent the effects of personal and student loan debt.
The work was commissioned for participation in the Debtfair project by the collective Occupy Museums for the Whitney Museum of American Art 2017 Biennial. It currently resides in the permanent collection of Process Museum in Tucson, AZ

This is a human-scale environment constructed out of heavily fragranced white soap that is cast over fabricated metal and wood supports. The experience incorporates elements of sound, lighting, and wire safety glass ‘observation’ windows.
The work suggests a hybrid combination of jails, state hospitals, classrooms, locker rooms, and other settings. The piece is intended to represent and question the enforcement of social norms by way of symbolic or institutional power.
The work is modular and can be reconstructed with various elements, combinations and layouts.
The work was exhibited in the 2011 Arizona Biennial where it received the Award of Excellence from the Contemporary Art Society of the Tucson Museum of Art.
