Vestige

Vestige was co-created with  Tere Mathern as part of a residency in Fall 2017 with New Expressive Works.  The piece developed from open research and investigation of material and its relationship to the body. The performance used movement to continually transform fabric and paper, and create visually dynamic images that resonates with the collective psyche in varied ways.  

Calorie Count

Calorie Count is a durational performance developed for the Paragraph Gallery 

exploring food production in the United States.  The four-day performance involved the methodical sorting of corn kernels between place settings and the floor to create a visual representation of labor and waste involved in bringing food to the table.
