Big Idea

My interdisciplinary work is concerned with cross-sensory perception and the uncharted territories of the senses. Downwind#1 Installation at Satellite gallery April 2012
My latest work in collaboration with Brian Harris, Downwind, is about training ourselves to read the cyphers of change carried by offshore winds.
It is becoming clear that we are not all perceiving the same smells, nor the same reality. https://vimeo.com/40963173
