Mid-Manhattan Library branch of the New York Public Library

Portal #1 and #2 were two site-specific installations in the windows
on 5th Avenue of the Mid-Manhattan branch of the New York Public
Library, visible 24/7 from the sidewalk. They consisted of 4 vertical planes
of paper mounted on plexiglass, one behind the other inside a deep
window cavity masked off with black foam rubber, Using almost entirely
reflected color and mirror reflections, the viewer's gaze is directed through
a series of successively smaller quadrilateral openings, creating a
dimensional optically disorienting experience of "painting with light.
