This piece was put together for vbs.tv as part of their ongoing series called Art Talk! where, as you may have guessed, they talk to artists about their work and topical issues. i find this guy's work fascinating, for example he constructs what appears to be a slideshow from postcards of the WTC, depicting what it must have looked like for the attackers to have flown into the building. another installation that was pretty cool was a commissioned work for a restaurant of a fountain, the fountain is an old boat made to appear as if it were being rowed. topped off with a taxidermed duck walking the plank.

below is the second on the series of four, which includes the fountain piece.
