My work is multimodal but is always a dance – relational, adaptive, bodily, and fascinated with time. I work iteratively, each piece serving as a reincarnation. Dances become phone calls. Relationships become books. The work asks for our attention. My process includes research, observation and reveling in a subtle edit’s rippling effects. Like the cycle of water, seeping, shifting and changing form, sediment is gathered and left, it is the same water, but different. I think about your body as you enter the work. The water that was in my body was once in yours.
Her pieces aqueousness (an Instagram feed), and #AllYourMarketing (a live video feed) were in the Digital Fringe portion of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Alluvium and Inlet – meditations on placemaking and bodies of water – were commissioned by the Painted Bride Art Center for their expanded archive of Philadelphia, “Re-place-ing Philadelphia”. Her looping video piece your toes, your skin, your heart, your bones was included in the online film festival “Trans(m)it”.
