| Untitled (Cavity) Mechanism #1 w/Glass Dome |
| Piece is a spring loaded mechanism that wedges itself into inside of a cavity (the glass dome in this case), suspending itself. |
| Dimensions: 10 x 7 x 7 inches;
Medium: Mixed |
|
 |
|
| Drywall Mechanism #2 |
| Piece is installed on drywall wall. It has centrally located springs that use bicycle brake lines to carry tension of springs to the outer mechanisms. Outer mechanisms have points that when tensioned simultaneously gently dig into wall surface. |
| Dimensions: 15 x 11 x 11 inches;
Medium: mixed |
|
 |
|
| Drywall Mechanism #3 |
| Piece is installed on drywall wall. It has a counterweight that presses points at opposing angles gently into the wall. If counterweight is lifted, springs retract points and piece falls off wall. |
| Dimensions: 11 x 6 x 7 inches;
Medium: mixed |

 |
|
| Concrete Mechanism #2 |
| Piece is installed on a concrete wall. It has fine hook like points that hook into small pores inherent in cast concrete walls and pulls hooks in opposition. |
| Dimensions: 20 x 4 x 10 inches;
Medium: mixed |

|
| Untitled (Cavity) Mechanism #2 w/ Glass Dome |
| Piece is a counterweight driven mechanism that wedges itself into inside of a cavity (the glass dome in this case), suspending itself. |
| Dimensions: 6 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches;
Medium: mixed |
|
 |
|
| Concrete Mechanism #4 |
| Spring loaded centerpiece tensions ~150' of cable that runs continuously through 9 satelite hooking mechanisms to hold whole piece up. Hooking mechanism delicately grasp edges, holes, pores, and other attributes of a concrete wall. |
