Artist Statement
I’m the poor schlub who has to work late and imagines a dance party, my dull office tarted up, reckless frivolity, cheap plastic heels from Salvation Army.

I built a disco cubicle with a belt drive train. It has a real chair and a welded frame. It turns very slowly and casts glittery reflections. There are 150,000 1/2" mirror pieces, each glued individually.

Though I tried to build this before, i just could not do it with only a jig saw and a drill. Sculpture Space provided the time, tools, and money to get it done right. I would also like to specially thank Jennifer Wanzong at Wholesale Mosaics for her generous support of my project.
