- Biography
I create sonic and visual environments for transformative experiences. I often use flameworked glass in an interdisciplinary practice incorporating film, sound, performance, fire, music, and electronics, to address emotional, spiritual, and physical states and thresholds. I build environments and situations to which people privately bring their deepest selves to visually public installations. All of my work contains engagement with collaborators or participants, and much of it is interactive.
