“Topo Walk: Cold Spring Harbor Hollow is a video installation allowing the viewer to take the place of my body passing through the landscape. The image of sunlight filtered through a canopy of green leaves is fragmented by a translucent grid of tiny mirrors and scattered around the space. The scenes of a wooded landscape are punctured by displaced fragments of urban night scenes and an empty sick bed, capturing the way the mind displaces itself from its current location when remembering an absent loved one."
