What I do

Last night, I pressed the PAUSE button. I froze time for a split second.
I wandered through streets and living rooms, passing neighbors dozing off
on their stoop, future lovers right before their first kiss, a spark in
someone’s eye, and a little boy carrying a dog his own size around the
supermarket. I zoomed in to register the smallest detail. I guessed words
on lips and formed sentences of unfinished thoughts hanging in mid air.
I studied, I memorized, I remembered. I bit my lip, smiled, and looked away.
Then I pressed PLAY.

Combining real and imagined narratives, I document human interaction through observational writing, performance, photography, video, and sound. I investigate the space between people, and the attempt to connect with one another across this undetermined terrain: a constantly changing landscape amid physical, emotional, sociopolitical, and psychogeographical boundaries, among many other. Examining the play between reaching out and keeping one’s distance in both intimate and everyday relationships, I require myself, as well as participants and audience, to be playful and vulnerable, while embracing the unknown outcome when our paths collide.

Aiming to capture and elongate these rapid, fleeting intimate encounters, I am a dreamlike storyteller with a sense for timing, detail and architectural setting. Alongside a rigorous editing process, I carefully collage seemingly disparate information into a dense and rich construction, leaving space for the audience to insert themselves and form their own associative experience.
