Gravity Room turns a gallery into a working surface. Canvases hang at different heights while thin lines of paint fall from vessels above, landing wherever the air and the cloth allow.

Visitors move through the room as the work changes. A drip that was a thread at the opening becomes a pool by the closing night, and the floor keeps a map of every hour.

The installation extends the painter’s long interest in weight and duration, shifting the stain from the wall to the space around the body.
