ARTIST STATEMENT:
I'm interested in experimenting with installation to consider the relationship between spatial design and narrative structures. What does a non-linear story look like? How can the dimensions of an oral tradition live in the cinematic realm? My practice applies the kind of intimacy and curiosity found in children's stories to tell a story of radical transformation.
Weaving found footage, experimental sounds, and images from my personal archive- this immersive space tells a story about fear, love, and courage.
The story begins when you begin
