"Zoo", 1999
This instalation was almost 2 pieces. The first part of the show was when I bricked up the door
so no one could get in or out of the only public door to the gallery. The second part was when
i filled the gallery with duck and goose down feathers. It looked like a large bird was being kept
inside a pen, so I called it "Zoo". There were 2 large picture windows looking into the gallery
from the hall. I also had fans blowing the feathers around the room like one of those snow
globes.
