The Shape Of Play (Excerpts and images from sound and sculpture public art piece in Boston, Waterfront Park)
2020The Shape Of Play approaches playgrounds as sites full of resonance and sound. For this piece (Commissioned by JArts and curated by Now & There) I recorded in playgrounds across Boston, capturing each playground's material resonance and created a multi-channel soundscape within a composition of color and form. Delving into experimental practices, this project places the visual, spatial, and auditory on an open-ended continuum, while looking anew at how sound touches us all and helps us connect. It urges us to look around us and reconnect with the rich universe that is our city.

The Coyote After-School Program (HD video, 9 mins)
2019The Coyote After-School Program explores language in its human and non-human forms. The film uses as its point of departure a 1970's performance by art titan Joseph Beuys, in which he spent three days cohabitating in a gallery with a wild coyote.Film documentation from this work is among the most iconic to come out of Beuys's oeuvre, but possibly also the most problematic, because it features a stressed animal that is used as a prop and forced into Beuys’s world and his hermetic language. The Coyote After-School revisits this moment in art history through a critical feminist lens and research on interspecies communication and animal personhood. The project is informed by my work with animals as a behaviorist alongside my art practice and focuses on a series of collaborative actions with a companion animal - one that can actually thrive in novel interactions with humans.During a day of filming at A.I.R. Gallery, the feminist art collective in Brooklyn, NY, Iris a rescue dog, and myself performed "A Quadratic Equation" by poet Robert Bringhurst as translated into a series of gestures and visual cues. Playful experimentation was the guiding force that day, both at the heart of the creative process but also as an essential element of how animals explore the world around them and thrive within it.

Out Of Thin Air (Excerpts and images from six-channel sound installation in City Hall Park, Commissioned by More Art)
2018Out Of Thin Air considers breathing in all its intimacy and enormity. The piece was made through a series of experimental sound and breathing workshops and is composed entirely of breath sounds. Out Of Thin Air seeks to highlight the uses and abuses of air, and the shared sphere of air as our rightful commons. By employing the sounds of actual breathing as raw material, this work paints a portrait of the city using the least visible and least tangible aspect of its residents. As part of the piece, sense-tuning tours took place in the park, co-led with teaching artists Zoe Hart and Jeff Kasper.
