For the 2006 exhibition at Santa Fe's Center for Contemporary Arts we decided to re-create an authentic adobe building, with the same fire-damaged, abandoned look as the building in Old Mesilla. The gallery environment gave us a space for trying new ideas and an opportunity to incorporate electronic media into the installation. Designing the architectural installation ourselves, rather than using the found remains of a building, added a sculptural element to the work and allowed us to take it in a completely unique direction.

These wrekage installations function as a large-scale abstract painting that viewers can walk into and experience from various vantage points, exploring concepts of two- and three dimensionality, interior and exterior. Inherent to this work is its dependence upon its audience to transform the art into a living, changing entity. Keep Adding invites the viewer to explore, consider, and assess individual experience within a work of art.
