In my practice I make film and video work, darkroom prints, glass objects, and light installations to contemplate modes of perception and experiences of time. I am interested in how perception can be turned back on itself — through strategies of duration, abstraction, optical illusion, and dimly lit environments — to heighten the experience of the body and how this in turn might be instrumentalized in imagining alternative possibilities for how our bodies encounter the world.

My current research centers the geologic, putting the seemingly inert and unconscious in conversation with dynamic practices of image making – juxtaposing human, mineral, and photographic timeframes. There is no lens without sand, which itself is the result of millions of years of geologic activity. Engaging these relationships, I highlight human embeddedness in deep time and emphasize the fundamental interrelationships between imaging technologies, which often serve to falsely separate humans from the more-than-human world and the earth as a living organism, of which we are but a part.
