I am an interdisciplinary artist incorporating video, sound, photography, and mixed media within layered site-specific installations including photography, video, sound, and mixed media such as paint, charcoal, dirt, leaves, thorns, petals, eggshells, hair, thread, wire, sand, and glass. Threads become roots, hair becomes veins, thorns become scars. The movement of video with the stillness of photographs creates the illusion of time standing still – and moving on. My work feels new and ancient, digital and tactile, mysterious and poignant.
Profoundly personal and politically aware, my work addresses how we can connect across time and space, be so moved by an experience that isn’t ours, and truly care for people we will never know – floating on a membrane of what we have been given, hovering just below what we have to give. My recent work explores ideas ranging from “Someone’s Child” – a statement on our current society’s failure to care each other > to “The Compass of Bone and Stars” which questions how we find our way. My most recent video installation “The Noisiest Years of Silence’ explores the dualistic nature of isolating during a pandemic – while the world explodes with political anger and discord. Being alone while also being a citizen. I place my work at this threshold.
