Bio

splat & worldspace		"Splat" was a performance piece inspired by the Fluxus artist Allison Knowles' "Color Music #2" where she instructs the reader or listener to "Print a silk screen on the streets and pavements of a city.'" After the piece was performed, the resulting cloth was hung up into 3-dimensional sculptures and photographed. It was then sewed into a book with documentary photos attached to each page (not shown). "Worldspace" translated "Splat" to a 3-dimensional world which in some ways preserves and more easily distributes the piece. Original audio score was composed and recorded by Michael Willy.
body extensions		The "Umbrella Bubble"'s purpose is to create a decorative, sheltered reality for a character who does not want to be part of or in direct contact with the surrounding world and mass population. Performed in Maryland, USA.
form in nature		Subtle changes to a natural environment hint at how humans can interact with the world and not completely destroy its beauty.
schefflera map		Moi Chambre is a visual poem map. The viewer is intended to explore the poem as he reads, looking for links that reveal more or advance to the next part. Specific sites of focus were chosen by placing a scheffelera leaf over a map of a bedroom. The poerm's words correspond with sites found at the tips of the scheffelera leaf. The photography was also taken from the room.
