My work is driven by attention. By a pull to understand how places write their way into our bodies, existing within us long after we have left them behind. My projects combine sound and video with sculptural constructions, incorporating fibers and found objects. Through this interdisciplinary approach, I strive to create work which mediates a more intimate understanding of place, building multisensory encounters that question the material interactions in our everyday lives.
Within my site specific performance and installation work, I utilize traditional craft techniques, such as weaving and basketry, alongside contemporary technologies. I am interested in the environmental intimacy that is created through the gathering of natural materials, and the knowledge of the landscape that these practices help teach. I am also intrigued by historical interactions between craft and the environment, the connection between memory and the ephemeral histories contained within acts of making. I believe that processes of environmental intimacy can be applied to contemporary methodologies of making that incorporate electronics, thinking critically about the material presence and impact of these technologies.
