“Available Space” has been ongoing for eight years, staying close to the original format: one photograph describing one urban condition with one work of sculpture rendered and photoshopped into the picture. The positioning of public art as a field related to sculpture is a point of intentional friction in the work. As realized works of public art, the sculptures that make up Available Space are hard pressed to fit that bill. They require a more fluid public arena without simplistic boardroom pitches or circumstantial rhetoric, they need to stand apart from these normalizing spoilers.

In a fantasy existing between two paper covers the realities of fabrication costs, installation challenges, planning bureaus and public forum meetings are excluded, allowing the works to breathe freely. It is an exercise in something impossible: an autonomous sculpture practice conducted in public.
