SPA-ALTAR (Hygiene Theater), 2018- 
vacu-formed molded  polystyrene, wood, steel, pond pump, blue water

dimensions variable, Coming soon- Running Waterfall aspect is in the works!

​

To experience the Spa-altar (Hygiene Theater), visitors step up into a narrow vestibule that is approximately 12 feet high, 12 feet deep, and 3 feet wide. Polystyrene sheets are vacuformed over a pharmaceutical landscape, this abstracted pill topography creates a grotto-like sensation. At the far end of the altar, a disinfectant blue-hued liquid trickles from the top of the wall and pools in a horizontal channel on the floor, like a baptismal. Part spa, part sanctuary, the installation elicits the sterility of a shower, a sanitarium, or a padded cell.
