Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
I perform for the camera with strangers. We manipulate our bodies together in front of the lens. An exposure is made in a fraction of a second and the two bodies are frozen. Our performance becomes a portrait.
We are two masses pushing together and pulling apart. Hair and skin texture the frame. We create an imaginary atmosphere. Our performance becomes a landscape.
Bright light illuminates our world. We remove our bodies leaving behind abstractions which suggest our conversation, negotiation, and action. They are the residue of a sensational experience, sometimes tender, other times violent, but always liberating. Our performance becomes a still life.
