Presence Interference
Presence Interference visualizes the energetic relationships between living entities through an abstract narrative of a water cycle within California’s coastal redwood forests. This installation illustrates a biophotonic and telematic system of communication between the human body and the biotic environment to investigate anthropocentric interferences with nature. Each participant becomes both a transmitter and receiver, thereby creating a feedback loop of biotic data. By wandering close to a geodesic structure animated by a 360 degree, long exposure, timelapse image, viewers trigger various changes in the projected ecology.
Presence Interference was shown at Interstices, the D.A.N.M. MFA show at UCSC in April 2018 and at Felix Kulpa Gallery, downtown Santa Cruz from January – March 2019.
The Luminaire Bloom
The petals of the sculptural Luminaire Bloom glow with time-lapse imagery of nightly light pollution over Santa Cruz, California. The beauty of dark sky starlight is revealed in the viewer's reflection in the bloom. The more people who gather close, the more change will be enacted on the bloom; emphasizing the concept that by working together, we can enact bigger change and reveal a different reality.
The Luminaire Bloom was shown at Glow Festival at the Museum of Art and History [MAH], Santa Cruz in October 2018.
An Investigation of Entropic Processes
Combining the vision of five artists, this group exhibition examined the site of the now defunct Davenport Cement Plant. Inspired by the concept of entropy, this interactive installation embodied various timelines, characters and perspectives; such as a limestone quarry, raw material, small lifeforms, and various tools and machinery. My contribution included a photographic study, a sculptural dome, and immersive 360° projections.
