I cannot express enough gratitude towards Paul Amenta, Tom Clinton, and the rest of the SiTE:LAB crew and volunteers. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and dedication.

I want them to have a new experience in a space that they would not have had without the installation of my work. What different architectural vantage points can one find within the space?
