Dust Board, Institute of Contemporary Art ICA / Boston 1997

Dust-coated sheets of glass form a surface for viewers to draw and write on. When the sheets of glass are full, they are cleaned off and re-dusted to be used again. The dust is from vacuum cleaners used in the exhibition space.

The Ruins of Weserumschlagstelle

The Ruins of Weserumschlagstelle, installation on the banks of the River Weser 2000

Exhibition 3 Räume – 3 Flüsse, Hann.Münden, Germany

Two circles of light rotate slowly amid the ruins and on the river bank, blankly showing one place at a time. Hann.Münden is a charming little German town, with the abandoned ruins of the Weserumschlagstelle close to its centre. The lights move amid the ruins as the town sleeps.

The Sky of Tampere, 2000

Poetry Summer in Watou, Belgium

The A3-size watercolour paintings on the floor of a farm outhouse form an image of the stars in the sky. The sunlight filtering through the slightly broken roof forms round patches, which move over the paintings, like the planets in the sky.
