Goals
"Suspensions" is a name I've given to a series of atmospheric installation that my team and I make with thousands of thin, painted chains that we hang in precise proximity to one other.
When I visit Utah, my eyes constantly comb the landscape; I felt compelled to marry some of that mesmerizing landscape to a Suspension at Davis Tech. I began 'Above the Ploughman's Highest Line' with an aerial image of the shore of the Great Salt Lake which I then abstracted to become a stack of horizontal bands that permeate the Suspension.
