Blame" is an interactive kinetic sculpture consisting of a robotic arm with a pointing hand on the end that scans the gallery, and when it finds a viewer, the arm stops with the hand pointing at the viewer, and then the sculpture proceeds to blame the viewer for some horrible crime against society. After that, the arm returns to scanning for a new victim to blame. Technical details at MAKE Magazine Blog article on Blame. Blame was shown at Fraser Gallery Bethesda.

The examination of memory is often conflicted between the concept of the mind's tremendous space of memory, and the ephemeral qualities of the memories themselves. While Emily Dickenson wrote that the brain has corridors surpassing material place, Lord Byron added that it is singular how soon we loose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. Memory House was featured in the "Digital Links" exhibition Sept. 30-Oct. 18, 2002, Paul Peck Art Building, Montgomery College, Rockville, MD.

Most people enjoy the first five minutes of the singing fish, but then it is generally discarded, a brief flash of technological tackiness. I was driven to try to give this technological whimsy a longer-lasting and deeper message. School of Fish Pain". View Windows Media Video. School of Fish Pain was shown at Fraser Gallery Bethesda.
