#4. Molding Shapes  Plaster.  Each unit approximately 3” x 16” x 8”deep, this installation, 2 rows of 12’ each.  2012.  Commercial molding profiles are grafted together and molded in plaster, then repeated and flipped for extra decorative value.  Real estate envy.

#6.  Four Windows, One Door  Painted wood, glass.  96" x 144" x 8.” 2015.  Designs for windows and doors are adapted from mid 20th century builder's manuals.  The horizontal dimension of the glass is squeezed while the width of the casing and trim is kept in proportion, emphasizing the decorative aspect over the functional.  Standard molding designs are duplicated on the table saw.

#7.  Rosettes and Plinth Blocks  Painted Wood. 37” x 66” x 1.5”.  2016.  Molding parts are cut up and rearranged to create a module which then repeats to form a puzzle-like image. Pushing back against the desire to find pattern in decorative motif.
