Video, interactive installation, mobile, 3d collage, pendulum, custom post-it-notes Incorporating video, interactive installation and 3D collage, Stephen explores what is supposed to make one happy.
Sarcastic, introspective, disturbing, an uncensored look at society and the state of the world. He invites one to write (provided questions on post-it-notes) what makes them; happy, angry, fearful, and what one wishes for, and ‘post’ their comments directly onto the installation.
