This installation is a completely fabricated environment built into the existing gallery space. The viewer enters through a door and proceeds down a pathway before entering the main space. There is an exit foyer and door by which the viewer leaves.

Use of forced perspective (2:1) makes the installation appear much larger than it is. Access is limited by a sloped floor, covered with objects and blocked at the near end by multiple forms. The architecture references a loggia- a structure that seems both interior and exterior. Made of Styrofoam coated in encaustic, the space glows with an ethereal and ambiguous light and has a sweet and waxy smell. The flooring cushions footsteps and muffles sound. This is an abandoned place, occupied by forms in transition, growing or decaying.

It may be an interior or a garden run riot.
