I am an interdisciplinary artist and educator exploring how universal experiences of grief, memory, and storytelling help define what it means to be human. Trained as a photographer, I now work across media, from sculpture and installation to sound, performance, and video. I work on my projects for long periods of time, completing extensive research and fieldwork that includes documenting images, collecting objects, conducting interviews, archiving materials, and determining sites for presentation. My work is site-specific, and I am drawn to contexts that present their own spirituality, using this intrinsic human quality to complement the stories I tell.

Recently, I have been producing a body of work that explores modern rituals surrounding death and the remnants of the life left behind. These installations invite visitors to participate in a shared experience, and to imagine (or question) what may exist on the other side of death. Making connections between the past and present, fact and fiction, and the objective and subjective spheres, my work invites audience participation and speculation about the boundaries between the physical world, the emotional world, and what may exist beyond.

My ongoing study of consciousness and end-of-life experiences has led me to explore concepts of relic and afterlives—what remains after a person or moment has passed, and how we can remember, capture, and celebrate the departed in tangible, collaborative ways. Ultimately, my practice is dedicated to creating public representations of introspective experiences, helping to make visible these transitory experiences which might otherwise be lost to time.
