Loop: Gravity Repeated is a 16-ft tall loop made of CDs, shaped like intertwining horns, inspired by roller coasters, Hot Wheels tracks, and the visceral mix of fear and exhilaration when being turned upside down. The openings are supported by an aluminum exoskeleton with 8ft tall x 6 ft wide ovals that don’t touch the ground.

A shape that forgets it’s a trap with the emotional charge of being flipped while surrounded by the shimmer of CDs of past hits and yesterday’s favorite song that has childhood-adult collision in the imagery.

I’m honored to be part of this biennial and grateful to the incredible team who brought this exhibition to life. From curating, programming, and publicity to rigging, filming, fabricating, installing, and more. Your vision and hard work made this possible, and I’m endlessly thankful. Organized by Guest Curator Alexa Goetzinger and Guest Curatorial Assistant Virginia Sitzes, Materials and Boundaries is the 2025 edition of the Oklahoma Contemporary ArtNow biennial exhibition, highlighting new and recent art from a selection of artists active in the state.

Special thanks Stealth Industries in Dallas, Texas for their expertise and fabrication of the aluminum hoops and rings. And thank you to Steven and Christian for all their scissor lift and rigging expertise, to Jonathan and Mike from Oklahoma PBS OETA for documenting, and to Stealth Industries for the beautiful fabrication of the aluminum rings and ovals. And thank you to the Research Council of the University of Oklahoma Norman Campus. This research was in part supported by an OU Research Council Faculty Investment Program grant making.
