STATEMENT

My work is motivated by care and a desire to make space for public imagination. I’m interested in how provisional solutions can create a sense of belonging. This can look like on-the-fly audio descriptions, live captions, ad-hoc structures, and rearrangements of furniture.

My materials and methods are reflexive. I gravitate toward lo-fi mechanisms—such as reel-to-reel tape loops, transistor radios, photocopiers, and electronic synthesizers—because they reveal electromagnetic frequencies all around us. Their fluttering textures are like our complex embodiments, sensed differently by every being, from every position, in every moment.

The things I make are meant to invite connection, drift, rest, and a relinquishment of clock time. When all these factors converge, it’s ecstatic magic.
