How little is enough? How much can be taken away before a piece crumbles? My process of reduction is ultimately intended to be an act of generosity. In each piece I’m looking for the point at which reductions give the most. It’s an appealing contradiction because it prompts one to reconsider the concept of abundance and the nature of giving. |

A project for the Smith Hill Community Development Corporation |
| HousEART is a program of the Smith Hill Community Development Corporation that invites artists to make art on vacant neighborhood houses owned by the SHCDC that will soon be renovated and offered for rent at affordable rates. The art is temporary, remaining only until the property is transformed into quality housing. It was a pleasure to make a piece for this program. My sincere thanks to Providence artist Rebecca Zub for her generous help. And thanks also to Ariana, Gabby and Lena for their wonderful contributions. |

At the Seams
The Skydive, Houston, TX
Curated by Ariane Roesch |
| This project, organized by artist and curator Ariane Roesch, paired the work of Zurich-based writer Brett Davidson with my visual art. Our collaboration developed through months of email correpsondence between us in Houston, Zurich and Providence. My site-specific installation, Slow Your Ride, is a response to those emails and the final selection of Brett's writings. |

de/construct II
150 Chestnut Street, Providence, RI
Curated by Allison Paschke |
| Nineteen artists were invited to create site-specific pieces in a loft space about to undergo demolition. Each of the pieces addressed the particular architecture of the place. The Rail uses color to divide the interior spaces and also to heighten the views outside the windows where numerous highways and industrial buildings are painted with the same shade of blue as that used in my installation. |

BEAT
MINUS SPACE project space, Brooklyn, NY
Curated by Matthew Deleget and Rossana Martinez |
In December 2007 MINUS SPACE presented BEAT. The piece translated an earlier work, Lena's Beat, from an intimate wall piece to a large-scale installation and performance. BEAT combined specific, yet inherently unrelated elements: color and music. The shared space and resulting energy were the focus of the work.
The performance took place on Saturday, December 8, from 4-6pm, and consisted of two hours of solo drumming by Peter Catapano, Paul Corio, David Grollman, Nancy Polstein and Douglas Witmer. BEAT was a collaborative work that was completed by the participation of the drummers and all those who attended. |

Material Matter
Sideshow Gallery, Brooklyn, NY
Curated by Katherine Griefen |
Thin pieces of gold-plated chain hang from selected points on the ceiling to form a piece that simultaneously fills the room and is nearly invisible. The installation, The Reason I Sing, is inseparable from the room that supports it. A person in the room is in the work. As a result, the viewer and the work share the space and collaborate with one another.
The gold metallic surface of the chain has a wide range of associations, spanning many eras and locations. Ethereal, iconic, urban. It's familiar but hard to pin down. |

The Weather is Sweet
This project is a collaboration with Rossana Martinez, a Minus Space artist. Part drawing, part performance,
the project is a pair of walks. In winter and summer Rossana and l walked from our studios through the city to meet at the midpoint between our spaces. As we walked, our bodies traced a line through the streets, creating an invisible drawing on New York.

I Can't Quite Place It...
Smack Mellon, Brooklyn, NY
Curated by Elizabeth Grady
|
Using unusual approaches to navigating spaces and occupying places, the artists in I can’t quite place it… radically alter their environments, transforming them in an effort to subvert structures both architectural and social. |
Addressing the nature of perception and our movement through space through their insistently human scale, installations by Lynne Harlow have a formalist elegance that belies their sophistication. By reducing her interventions to simple geometric forms comprised of painted surfaces and light, permeable materials like fabric scrims, and hardware cloth, she creates a weightless atmosphere suffused with light.

The Searchers
White Box, New York, NY
Curated by Patricia Maloney |
| |
|
The Searchers is an exhibition of paintings, works on paper, video, and sculpture exploring the contradictory and lingering cultural impact of the frontier in the American psyche. The included works swagger with bravado and poke fun with sly humor, evoke a sense of longing, and underscore the fine line between a utopic and dystopic vision, where optimism gives way to compromise and resignation.

| 2003 Selected Studio Work |
|

I spent a good part of 2003 exploring ways to use both wall and floor to create installation pieces that encourage movement and response. I wanted the viewer to be a participant, setting up a relationship of collaboration between us. I looked for ways to do this with as little as possible, making full use of color and material and, most importantly, space. |

In the spring of 2002 I spent a month at the Chinati Foundation as a visiting artist. During my time at Chinati, located in the remote west Texas town of Marfa, I encountered light, space and color as I never had before. Mouth Full of Harmony, a site specific piece, was my ongoing project there. |
