In "Brooklyn Army Terminal", an image of the voluminous factory building is created by thirty laser-etched sheetrock panels. The photographic becomes activated on an architectural scale, while the wall becomes a site of material engagement, rather than one of exclusion or apportionment.

"Sanders Theater" is a 8ft by 10ft laser etched image of the interior of Sanders Theater at Harvard. Commissioned for a Google building in Cambridge, this piece considers the physical volume of a photographic image as architectural, materialized, and unfixed. The laser etching creates a dot matrix patterned surface that plays with and against the unique qualities of each wood panel.
