"The Genealogy of the Supermarket interrelates people who appear on common products in the grocery store and organizes them so that they appear to be members of one large family. Playing on the fantasies of lineage and heritage that these products themselves already provoke ("My Italian grandmother made pasta this pasta sauce for me"), the images have been returned to their metaphorical point of origin."



"In the forest and around the house where I was living, I searched for broken spiderwebs which I repaired using red sewing thread. All of the patches were made by inserting segments one at a time directly into the web. The morning after the first patch job, I discovered a pile of red threads lying on the ground below the web. At first I assumed the wind had blown them out; on closer inspection it became clear that the spider had repaired the web to perfect condition using its own methods, throwing the threads out in the process. My repairs were always rejected by the spider and discarded, usually during the course of the night, even in webs which looked abandoned."

"Cai Guo-Qiang / Head On piece in Deutsche Guggenheim with 99 life-sized replicas of wolves and glass.

With few wolves scattered in the front gallery, all ninety-nine wolves run, gallop, and jump toward the far end of the exhibition hall, where a wall stands. The bravery of the wolves is met head on by the unyielding wall. As the leading wolves go down, many more follow with force and determination. As those in the front fall and pile up, those behind take up their positions."

"a unique approach to nationalistic design by taking the cultures and cliches of each of the 32 competing countries and representing them with a soccer (football) ball. The designs are gorgeous and quite humorous. Take for example, America's ball is covered with levis denim, a nod to the country's culture of work and the wild wild west. Japan's ball is covered with anime manga, and Brazil's ball looks like Carnival reincarnate."

"This project consists of an aerial view of the Sacramento River that is woven into a carpet for the floor of a pedestrian bridge connecting the terminal to the parking garage. This image represents approximately 50 miles of the Sacramento River starting just outside of Colusa, California and ending about 6 miles south of Chico.

In addition to recalling the experience of flight and flying, this piece, by depicting the larger geographical area, also helps to reinforce a sense of belonging and/or connection for the traveler. In this way, the carpet can also be read and experienced as a "welcome mat" for visitors arriving in Sacramento. "
