Statement

In my videos I dramatize scientific and mechanical systems and theories.  My subjects have ranged from insect communication to quantum mechanics, which I translate into performances and narratives. I am always the primary actor in my work, and my body allows me to connect the world of science to the realm of human desires. I’m interested in the sensual aspects of scientific ideas: the unsettling movements of insects as they are interpreted by a human, the potential for love stories within the theories of physics, and the mysteries and temptations of an engine in an old car. Carefully constructed soundscapes play an important role in my work, punctuating patterns and movements while creating tension within the narrative and pushing the story forward. I love to imbue science with emotion and sensation and humor (something that is not typically allowed in the legitimate field of science). I find the points where science and art separate, and I force them back together again.
