The act of sitting at a shoreline, observing the ocean may seem unremarkable. I'm concerned with what is not readily visible; what takes place over time; and how states of mind, like conditions of the earth, require time to experience, observe and understand.

Offering
(Maine, 2006) A site-specific installation for Mt. Desert Symposium in the Arts/LandEscapes. The focus for this installation was "food" and was sited at Beech Hill Farm, a 75-acre organic farm.
Then, now and again
(2006) single-channel video, 4 minutes
Voice, touch and repetition act as mnemonic devices for human contact and the passing of time, while the turned back (or facelessness) hints at anonymity and isolation. The use of the triptych reflects past, present and future while the soundtrack of bedtime lullabies, sung by an older woman, creates tension between tender care and naked vulnerability.
Element
(Massachusetts, 2006) A project completed at the Contemporary Artists Center Residency Program, North Adams, MA.
Tidal Culture: Part I

I’m drawn to these landscapes for their character— sometimes austere, sometimes lush, often connoting isolation.
Tonal Reflections
(2005) print from Carborundum on plexi plate (recorded shape of vowel sounds), 10" x 44"
Transparent Gestures I, II, and III
(2005) single channel video, three monitors, 10 minutes each
Transparent Gestures documents the development of three 36”x36” drypoint and carborundum plexiglas plates. Each plate reflects a specific wiping gesture (vertical, circular and horizontal). The repetitive and hypnotic nature of these gestures reflects state of mind while scale investigates both the limitations and possibilities of personal "reach".
Transparent Gestures I, II, III
(2005) A suite of three 42"x42" drypoint and carborundum prints. Printed by the artist at SUNY New Patlz.
(un)rest
(2004) single-channel video, 3 minutes
Through multiple video windows, we witness a pillow being transformed. Function, content and perspective are questioned through the process of redefining form. What was once a pillow—an article of daily living and a repository for rest and subconscious thought—is transmuted into a vessel with renewed and redefined, yet indeterminate, function.
Familiar Terrain
(2004) single channel video, 2 minutes
The surface of the body, which includes hair, acts as a signifier of “border”…between self and others…between what is internal and what is external…between what is personal and what is social. Personal Terrain uses the tactile nature of hair as metaphor for topography, geography and territory.
Cycles of Repetition: an homage in observations
