Seabed, single-channel video, 4:07, 2015
The bed is the most intimate of spaces. Over the course of one month, I took aerial photographs of my sheets each morning. The space of the intimate becomes the place of the immense in which the daily movement of the sheets stands in for sea swirls: the Atlantic Ocean that separated my two homes.
Artist Statement
My work as a multidisciplinary artist pairs personal narrative with larger notions of home, landscape, and memory. I often combine found objects and images in videos, installations, and publications that vacillate between the natural, manmade, and digital worlds. I am especially interested in the dislocation between the physical and the digital and the ways that systems such as Google Maps and FaceTime can unknowingly influence one’s behavior. My work is playful and poetic, deliberate and considered. Through it, I am constantly attempting to orient myself in my surroundings.
