Multi-channel Video Installation
Glass, Wood, Bubble Level, Lenses, Prussian Blue Pigment

Site-specific installation in a former dentist’s examination room at Angell Street Galleries, in Providence, RI. A wooden replica of an early 20th century autopsy table was placed in the position of the dentist’s examination chair. The table suspended several layers of glass with hand-scribed grid lines floating inches above a sand-blasted projection surface, displaying video of a subterranean termite colony. Viewers were provided with a set of lenses and tools to examine the termites as the dentist or coroner would have surveyed the remains of a human body.
