Best Take (2011)
Audio installation, 11'
Enclosed space, 2 speakers, PA, and 3 dim lights

About 20 Beach Boys tracks, mostly ooohs and whooooaaahs, layered and cut into waves. Installed in an industrial concrete storage room painted deep red, lit by low orange bulbs.

"I've never really got into the Beach Boy's or found their story moving so I was surprised to feel quite sad during this piece."

"Best Take is an emotional push-and-pull that raises the stakes, prompting a sharper intake of breath."
