SAFE HOUSE  (1985)
A completely safe house, formed by the requirements of fear and by the pressure exerted on its frame by the landscape it contains. It is equipped with Protective Devices, Sensors, Early Warning Systems, Lawn Furniture, and, of course, Decoys. It has multiple redundancies and back-ups. There is no way in and no way out.
 The remnants of the Safe House are currently limited to some of its devices that have survived the passage of time.


THE FENCE - 1  Singing Alarm   (1991)  
This large graphite drawing was part of an anti-submission for a competition to design a fence for a gated community. This image is from a brochure advertising the appealing and progressive security features of The Fence.  


THE FENCE - 2  The Girls Next Door   (1991)  
This large graphite drawing presents two examples of quasi-sentient robotic guardians, seen here installed along the security perimeter and clothed to appear nonchalant and lovely. They are displayed in two active modes: "Girl" on the right in hyper-vigilant surveillance mode, and "Girl" on the left in full alarm mode.    


THE BEAUTIES
The Beauties (1, 2, &3) are from a competition entry (with Natalija Subotincic)  responding to a breathless call for proposals following the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty between the USA and the USSR. The competition asked, in light of the “peace dividend” we were all about to enjoy, what might be done with America’s empty Atlas ICBM silos. We proposed re-arming for a new kind of enemy, one that is mysterious and impossible to define or locate. These beautiful and powerful new weapons are at once biological and industrial, tuned for immediate response to endo-threat events, etc. etc. They are affectionately know as “The Beauties”.
