| My work addresses ambiguities in perceptual experience. It reveals simultaneous connections and divisions between site and image, interior and exterior, reality and illusion. As the installation immerse the audience, viewpoints shift and unfold. The physical experience of the work opens up new relationships between the viewer, space, and image. My installations are environments that connect to the architectural setting. They consist of abstract animations that are projected onto large sheets of acrylic and integrated into the chosen site. The shifting pattern of black-and-white animation tracks along the surface of the architecture, mapping and articulating it, and then subtly diverging from it. |

The shifting pattern of black-and-white animation tracks along the surface of the architecture, mapping and articulating it, and then subtly diverging from it. The usual visual clues that help to navigate space—coordinates of wall, ceiling, and floor—dissolve into the complexity of the projections. What is normally still and flat appears moving as it expands, slides, slants, and warps in a fugue-like progression.
