Inverted Bird Blind is a box made of salvaged timber, placed in the rural landscape of central Tennessee. A slit in one of the sides reveals paintings of seventy-two species of bird, recorded by the artist on the 175 acres of Yellow Bird Artscape. In a traditional bird blind the observer's gaze is directed outward; Inverted Bird Blind directs the gaze inward. Rather than enabling close range observation of wild birds, Inverted Bird Blind enables scrutinization of the birdwatcher's mind.

The 2016 thesis exhibition of Sandberg Instituut (partly) took place in the Amsterdam orphanage by Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck. After noting that the position of the building arbitrarily follows the street pattern, I proposed a "correction" of van Eyck's design by rotating the building 7,2 degrees, in order to line it up with Earth's magnetic field.
