Time, in their kinetic works, does not proceed along a linear path into a future. Motion is detached from ideas of progress. Instead it drifts, floats, twitches, breathes, morphs, strobes, or erupts in frenetic activity. These works, with their vanishing objects and apparitional images, their immaterial specters appearing and fading away, propose a concept of time that has to do with the perpetually dissolving present and its cyclical return. Obliterating time and space, it offers an elusive but recurring pictorial sequence that addresses the persistence of religious iconology and the simultaneity of belief and disbelief.

TransFusion , a multi-exposure hologram offers images countered by the downward flow of a functioning waterfall. Fit , an interactive video installation, plays on the confusion of duration and speed, and raises questions of time and control.

Responding to presence rather than movement, the video image speeds up according to the time the viewer spends with it. Rising out of the oil and sinking under the murky surface, a cone and a small blue light emerge and vanish.
