I create multimedia installations combining sculpture, video projection, sound, photography, light, and space to create poetic and theatrical environments. I take personal stories and memories, as well as events that affect us collectively, and transform them in order to visually translate intangible aspects of human experience.
In my newest body of work, I extract silver backings from old mirrors to expose the spirits of the mirrors. I start with the premise that the silver mirror backings have absorbed the energy of the people who looked into the mirrors and that, like old photographic silver processes, this "film" contains information that can be revealed. The extraction of the silver pulls out a mystery that creates a launching point for my visual explorations. The material I collect from these mirrors then serves as a basis to further develop the video and sculptural components of my work in an installation format.
