Stream of Consciousness, Monaco; Japan; Los Angles; Linz; Taiwan, 1999

Water briskly flows down a series of cascades into a glowing pool. Projected on the surface of the pool and flowing as if they were caught in the water's grasp are a tangle of words. You can reach out and touch the flow, blocking it or stirring up the words causing them to grow and divide, morphing into new words that are pulled into the drain and pumped back to the head of the stream to tumble down again. This work has been exhibited in Monaco, Japan, L.A., Linz and most recently, Taiwan.

Food for Thought, Westport, CT, 1999

Combining two favorites, typography and food, these edible designs were used throughout the tenth anniversary issue of Martha Stewart Living.

Holidays are always a time to gather around the dining table with family and friends to share good food and stories about times gone by. Now family favorites--whether text or images--can actually appear on the fruit, nuts, and vegetables being served with the help of a laser sign cutter. Since the process takes only five minutes per edible, the food messages can be extremely timely.
