STATEMENT OF WORK

The focus of my artistic practice lies in making the viewer conscious of the unconscious bodily rhythms of everyday life—breathing, walking, beating. I am an interdisciplinary sculptor who builds introspective experiences that shift perspective from passive seeing to active looking, from passive hearing to active listening. My mediums include everything from sculptural objects, printmaking, video, and interactive electronic technologies. In my most recent works I seek to compare tempos of the human body with rhythms in the landscape, as a method to consider—and place within personal, felt experience—human relationship with the changing climate. These multi-sensory experiences use the body’s circulatory system as a means of fielding questions about close listening and ecological healing. I encourage the audience to slow down, engage in sensory perception, and find moments of refuge in their environment. Through my works I invite viewers to consider the agency of their own somatic experience. Devices such as repetition, liveness, and collaboration filter in the physical rhythms and movements of the body created by the accumulation of footsteps, breaths, and heartbeats. These tools place the viewer in the here and now.
