STATEMENT OF WORK

As an artist, I am informed by my unique perspective as partially color-blind and dyslexic. In my work, I explore notions of perception, context, and diversity through the construction of immersive spaces that seek to heighten the audience’s awareness of their own direct experience. Rooted in the “objectless” nature of intangible materials—sound and light—my work often takes on an intermediate character, offering enough information to transform space while underscoring an audience’s awareness of their individual perceptions. By privileging their unique perspectives, I intend to resist normative tendencies that universalize experiences and erase difference.

My work draws on a wide range of sources, including raw and altered field recordings, analog and digital sound synthesis, manipulated artificial and natural light, and projection to produce slowly evolving and interrelated sonic and visual fields. The distinct historical lineages of experimental electronic music and Light and Space are thus conjoined in service of a critical engagement with modernism, wherein its culturally unipolar and utopian tendencies are rejected in favor of its emphasis on the necessarily contingent and specular nature of works of art. Through careful consideration, my works not only address sight and hearing, but simultaneously expose the methodologies of looking and listening themselves. Taking the form of audiovisual installations, performances, architectural interventions, sound diffusions, recording, and prints, my work invites participants to imagine how divergent our individual perceptions of reality can be.
