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
Specifically, my work takes the form of tactile sonic object installations (objects that emit sound in response to environmental stimuli), sculpture, performance, workshops, drawing, and video. Relying on randomness and other human and nonhuman agents, I often position my sound installation work to live independently, authoring itself and serving as a reflexive instrument.
Sound Playground is an example of such a work. It is a networked troupe of sound-objects that remain somewhat opaque to the participants. People who engage with these objects by touching them or walking by them understand that they cannot control this object ecosystem but can collaborate with it to a degree. In this way I use object agency to invite people to sit with, interact with, and observe (and enjoy!) a system that is not fully knowable to them. In a world where technology is used primarily to reduce people, things, and nature to numbers, to control, I proposed a model - or a reminder - of opacity and fugitivity.
