2004
Lockdown - an exploration of incarceration and transformation - features sculptures created with prison beds from Kingston Penitentiary for Women; door hardware, air vent diffusers, office dividers and other objects recycled from government buildings.

Commissioned in 2004 as an art and recycling initiative utilising discarded materials provided by
Public Works & Government Services Canada and Correctional Service of Canada.

Exhibited at Art Gallery of Algoma in 2004.

Lockdown was exhibited in conjunction with a syncretic art workshop in which visitors were encouraged to create their own interpretations of the work through performances integrating sound and movement.
