I DWELL IN POSSIBILITY consists of an anaglyph 3D video loop projected into the middle of a large, empty wooden frame hung on the gallery wall. Viewers wearing red/blue glasses experience the images projected inside the frame three-dimensionally, as if seeing them through a window or portal.

The video consists of a sequence of views of a shattered monumental marble head from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As the eyeless head scans slowly back and forth, a tunnel of glowing, pulsating squares recedes behind it into a twilit sky.

Thematically, the installation — which takes its title from a poem by Emily Dickinson — explores the power of imagination as our best tool for understanding experience. Our sensory perceptions of the world are continually integrated by our imaginative faculties, and it is through this mental synthesis that we actually encounter reality in all its depth and mystery.

I DWELL IN POSSIBILITY was first shown as part of SPACE:LIGHT ALTERNATE REALITY, an exhibition presented by the Center for Holographic Arts and Culture Lab LIC at The Plaxall Gallery, in Long Island City, Queens, New York, in the fall of 2021.
