Inexplicable Space

Inexplicable Space inspired by one curious fortune received after a Chinese dinner took off into an abstract stream-of-consciousness work developed from over 50 fortunes and 48 lucky numbers from fortunes cookies. The result is a mysterious, odd collection of movements and encounters amidst an installation of steaming crystal balls and flying orbs.
