Wireless Phone Booth
Exhibited at Futuresonic

This phone booth is said to cut one off from all radio signals after entering. There is no access to wireless networks, sights and sounds. You are essentially cut off from the world to continue your own reflections and contemplation. In the context of art, artists often need to work through an idea over a period of time, and the speed of technological innovation may not allow for these important periods of reflection. I'm no stranger to this process. Either I am a chronic procrastinator, or I need an unworkable amount of time to produce artwork that I genuinely feel confident enough to show to others.
