Nautical Window Display (2011) 

In the Summer of 2011 I created a window display for handmade marketplace and record label Tender Loving Empire in downtown Portland. I took inspiration from vintage nautical maps and made a diorama style installation with 2-d images. All the components were hand drawn on thick paper, then meticulously cut out and attached to wooden backs to stand upright. Tender Loving Empire was great to work with and I had a lot of fun with this project.

SEA CAVE (2010)

SEA CAVE was a multimedia window installation at the Emerson Space Case in NE Portland. It consisted of four separate underwater scenes, highlighted by the four windows of the gallery. The Emerson Space Case was a storefront gallery that emphasized experimental and non-traditional art installations and was curated by Stephanie Brachmann.
