For many, the crib is the piece of furniture from which we first grasp the world; in Margin for Error, the Crib sinks slowly into the floor. Cradle is modeled after a Shaker adult cradle, used for rocking the moribund. Margin for Error marks the interstice between birth and death.

Margin for Error installed in the Astor library during Precarious Possessions, a solo exhibition at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.
