In "long may you run", a chain of records are connected by rubber hose in order to produce several layers of sound. They are looping sounds of nature, typing, sounds of people reciting letters, Morse code, and music. You hear all these sounds along with the sounds of the motor and pulleys in motion. They emerge from scraps and humble materials and exist as a group of resonances that are organized into a haphazard and fragile amorphous object. There is not a pure form that emanates from it. Instead, a multiplicity of sounds is provided from a bricolage of scraps, leftovers, and obsolesced objects.

Tympanic Observatory is a sculptural illustration of how the human ear works. It is comprised of easily accessible materials. The construction paper cone collects the sound which vibrates the drinking straw and causes the ping pong-ball to bob up and down in the bowl of water. A clamp light casts light though this bowl of water (as seen above) to cast a silhouette of the ripples on the ceiling. This was installed in the project room at Gallery Diet for theHere and Forever show in 2008.
