In the spring of 2007 I did an installation at The Purple Chopstix Restaurant. Behind the back deck there is a creek with bridge crossing into the woods. To me, this creek reminded me very much of one that I used to frequent when I was younger and I wanted to do a project with it. To me, the building of a dinning space underneath the bridge was a challenge to the way we isolate certain experiences. While wadding through the creek might give one the impressionof adventure, sitting down to eat has a more domestic connotation, thus causing dissonance when sitting down at thisparticular table for a meal. Further more, a bridge is a means for us to overcome anobstacle, but in this case I made people want to go under the bridge, instead of over it as it is intended.
