Silver Seeds
2020PW: silver Based on early fantasy cinema, Silver Seeds unveils a microcosmic world full of longing and dreams. Two friends embark upon a magical journey riding a giant flower up to a space station. This animation depicts the very human desire to move beyond the physical constraints of existence while also referencing digital culture, the silver screen, and artificial constructs of “natural” environments.

the Conversation
2017The Conversation is a silent interaction between two offline characters. Mundane, inane and without any real direction they "converse" about trying to locate something relatively abstract. Shuffling between various colored papers which reference computer visualization devices in their simplest state, the Conversation draws attention to the abstract substance many of our conversations now do or do not follow.

Berlin Skin
2007Berlin Skin creates the aura of a city through textures and motion. Animating the layers of a city, memory is encoded into its walls. The projected animation is meant to create a physical connection between the viewer and Berlin, cloaking them in the "skin" of another location.

Warm Jets
2001Exhibited at White Columns. 16mm animation explores scale, synthetics and fantastical landscapes. "Warm Jets" is an exploration of scale, synthetics and fantastical landscape. Inspired by early science fiction cinema and contemporary virtual environments, "Warm Jets" offers a whimsical journey into alternate worlds. In "Warm Jets" a fractured reality of different "sites" exists. The disorienting illusion of place expands or condenses three-dimensional space, and is suggestive of the unreality within reality.

Mercury Moon
2001Exhibited at White Columns. Mercury Moon investigates the tension between regimented order and organic growth. Using certain tropes of science fiction such as a space station, alien landscapes, and a futuristic city, Mercury Moon presents the viewer with a desolate yet quirky place of fantasy. In this world, glittering plants grow from lunar energy and cities are reconstructed from ice formations. Addressing concepts of destruction and growth with balls of cotton and plastics, Mercury Moon mirrors patterns found within factories and mechanical society. By depicting these patterns using whimsical spaces and objects, the humor, poetry and inevitable humanism radiates throughout these technological spaces. The title from the film was inspired by the album "Marquie Moon" by the band, Television from the 70's. Also in the 70's there was thought to be a Mercury moon but this was then later discovered to have only been a star, adding to the elusiveness of the name of the film- a place that exists but doesn't.

Too Big to See
2021PW: borderlessThis film is a letter addressed to those who hold power over an individual - the lover, the critic, the audience, the government. What initially begins as a reflection on the power dynamics of intimate relationships evolves into a broader social and political theme. Working on this film, I became aware of how much the current political climate has overtaken my thoughts. Borders, surveillance, gender equality, big business dictating climate measures. What initially started as an intimate reflection on the power dynamics in relationships suddenly became political and took on a broader and more social theme.

Conquering Place
2018PW: conquer Between 1950–2000 West Germany hosted over 10,000,000 US military personnel and their family members. Conquering Place serves as a dream capsule marking the end of this era. Metaphors such as music, square dancing, and architecture suggest ambiguous structures and their impact on interpersonal and physical relationships. An intimate viewpoint is presented in contrast to the male-dominated world of the military by the artist, herself a female family member stationed in Germany in the 80s.
