A selection of large-scale installations and murals exploring the relationship between image, architecture, and public space. Developed through both academic research and commissioned work, these projects range from permanent painted environments to temporary projection-based murals. Each piece considers how scientific imagery, natural structures, and narrative can unfold across architectural scale.
Starry Night, Retextured
Private Commission • November 2025
Close detail showing rock size variation
Wide shot of the full wall
A large-scale mural constructed from natural river stone, reinterpreting the compositional language of Starry Night into a vertical architectural format. The design was restructured to maintain the painting’s key elements—including the moon, chapel, and foreground cypress—while adapting the composition to the proportions of the wall. Stones of varying size were carefully arranged to create depth and movement, allowing certain forms to project subtly from the surface. Pigmented staining was applied to evoke the color relationships of the original painting while preserving the natural texture of the stone, resulting in a sculptural interpretation that merges painting, masonry, and landscape material.
Sinus Differentiation, MFA Thesis Project
Dissertation Installation • August 2025
This graduate thesis installation explores the anatomical complexity of the human paranasal sinus system and the challenges associated with teaching these structures through traditional two-dimensional resources. The project combines large-scale anatomical imagery, modular 3D printed models, and animated visualization to create a comprehensive educational environment. Central to the installation is a series of interactive skull models designed to allow students to physically explore sinus structures and their variations. Developed in collaboration with an ENT surgeon, the final models were donated to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, Scotland, where they are now used as teaching tools for medical students.
Modular Paranasal Sinus Model
3D printed anatomical model · 2× human skull scale
The primary component of the installation is a large-scale, modular skull model designed to demonstrate the structure and variation of the paranasal sinus system. Printed at twice the size of a human skull, the model separates into twelve removable sections that allow users to progressively explore internal anatomical relationships. Three interchangeable sinus variations were also developed, enabling students to visualize how structural differences can affect the overall sinus system. The model was designed specifically for educational use, addressing the limited availability of dedicated sinus teaching models.
Sinus Cavity Model
3D printed anatomical model · 3× scale
A secondary model presents the paranasal sinus cavities in isolation by inverting the surrounding bone structure. Printed at three times anatomical scale, the model reveals the internal architecture of the sinus system as a connected network of hollow spaces. Each of the four primary sinus groups is injected with a distinct color, allowing viewers to clearly understand the spatial relationships and pathways between them.
Animated Educational Visualization
Paranasal Sinus Educational Animation
Developed in collaboration with an ENT surgeon, the final teaching models were donated to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, Scotland, where they are now used by medical students studying head and neck anatomy.
Relentless Passage
Idealistic Notions; Identical Bones; Immersion in Death, BFA Thesis Project
Undergraduate Installation • 2023
A three-part installation exploring the relentless passage of time and the accumulation of choices that shape a life. The work combines a large-scale floor drawing, a suspended sculptural skeleton, and a monumental wall piece to create a spatial narrative that viewers encounter physically as they move through the environment. Each element represents a different stage of reflection—movement through life, the physical body that carries those experiences, and the looming presence of mortality.
Idealistic Notions
Micron ink on paper floor installation · 35″ x 14′
A fourteen-foot ink drawing viewed from above, tracing the passage of a life through a sequence of footprints that evolve in size and form. Beginning with the small steps of infancy within a dense forested landscape, the footprints gradually grow and transition into adult footwear as the environment transforms into an urban cityscape. The path pauses before the sculptural skeleton at the center of the installation before turning away and continuing forward. The final section shifts perspective from a bird’s-eye view to a worm’s-eye view of a towering tree, where the footprints ultimately walk beyond the edge of the drawing.
Identical Bones
Paper sculpture, Cardstock Paper and Black Ink • 4′ x 4′ x 3′
A suspended skeletal form constructed from sculpted paper and intricately cut imagery. Across the bones, detailed cityscapes and orchid forms intertwine and compete for space, suggesting the tension between natural growth and human expansion. The imagery spreads across the skeletal structure as if colonizing the body itself, merging architecture and organic life within a single fragile framework. Positioned between the floor and wall works, the skeleton acts as a physical and symbolic axis within the installation.
Immersion in Death
Mixed media wall installation · 35″ x 14′
A monumental vertical work depicting a shrouded figure partially emerging from the surface of the piece. Constructed with chicken wire and layered tissue, the figure presses outward with a hand, knee, and foot as though attempting to escape the confines of the paper itself. Above the figure, a nocturnal cityscape reflects across dark water, while a field of star-like forms extends beyond the boundaries of the paper and across the surrounding wall. Positioned behind the skeletal sculpture, the piece suggests a looming presence—both unreachable and inescapable.
The Divine Proportion
Public Projection Installation • 2020
The divine proportion, also known as the golden ratio, has fascinated artists, architects, and thinkers for centuries. In this video, we explore how this timeless mathematical relationship appears throughout nature and in some of humanity’s most iconic creations. From the rhythm of ocean waves to renowned works of art and architecture, the golden ratio reveals a shared visual harmony. Examples featured include The Great Wave, the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, the Greek Acropolis, and Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam
