STATEMENT

My work creates space for public imagination and healing through time-based media, open captions, print, installation, and performance. I focus upon cultivating ecosystems of inclusion through the lens of Queer and late-Deaf experience.

I blend responsive technology with lo-fi mechanisms like reel-to-reel tape loops, stop-motion animations, electronic synthesizers, and radio frequencies. These tactile materials illuminate the terrestrial and electromagnetic phenomena which our bodies sense but cannot readily name.

I explore expanding time, breaking and remaking meaning, and conjuring ecstatic magic.

[Untitled] 6 Cylinders

Turning objects like phrases to make poems of spaces. 




In a place, we experience certain particularities of light and sound reflecting off of surfaces and the sensation of our bodies being one of those the surfaces. 
In this piece, discarded barrels and a vacuum become screen, table,  speaker, sculpture, and stools.
