[nggallery id=5] 1996 plaster, drywall, pine; steel light stands, 60-watt bulbs, electrical cable (size varies) The wall is built floor to ceiling with a slight curve at one end and projects into the centre of the exhibition space. It has been built up with plaster “bumps” which are hollow in the back to accommodate light bulbs installed on specially built stands. The light bulbs heat the bumps as well as softly illuminating them through the opening at one end of the wall: they are the sole light source in the work. nothing between, Galerie Optica, Montreal (1996); technician: Jack Stanley [...]

[nggallery id=6] 1996-97 Balloons, dental floss, motorized ceiling bracket; 72 X 18 in / 182 x 45 cm (size varies) This accumulation of partially-deflated balloons is activated by a motorized ceiling bracket which makes the whole thing jiggle rhythmically back and forth, emulating a sensual dancing motion.

[nggallery id=4] 1995 Packing tape, sticky side out: approx. 84 X 84 X 96 in / 214 x 214 x 244 cm Winding tape around my hand, sticky side out, adding rolls continually at the end of each, an ever-longer tube forms, sticking to itself as it piles up. When touched, it sticks momentarily to the toucher’s finger and the whole thing bobs around, jelly-like. résider (apartment exhibition with Annie Martin, Carmen Ruschiensky and Andrea Szilasi) Montreal (1995) Remettre ça, Galérie B312, Montréal (2001) photos: Paul Litherland
