Sanding Installation 1999
IDA Gallery York University, Toronto
I had a lot of fun with this gallery. First
with the wall and the feathers and now
with the sanding installation. I sanded
the walls with a belt sander, exposing
the previous layers of paint and in
some cases text from previous shows.
The exposed layers were beautiful and
felt like an archeology experiment. I
turned the gallery into a piece of art
and the gallery referenced itself.
