Interactive installation sculpture. This piece was on display at the Taylor Town event, housed by Tortuga Gallery in Albuquerque’s South Broadway neighborhood. 

Answering the phone prompts a voicemail to play. There are 30 voicemails, with a random one selected each time the handset is picked up. Each voicemail was an interpretation of the prompt “something an angry, stifled suburban parent would say”.

The adjacent photo frame plays a looping slideshow of several hundred local real-estate photos.
