Artist Statement
My work collapses boundaries between performance, sculpture, and photography. Through creating wearable sculptures and autonomous living systems, my work addresses nomadic themes that are based on a need to migrate. In 2009, I founded the Waterpod Project: a self-sufficient habitat and public space atop a barge that docked throughout New York City, with artists living onboard testing the ecosystem. Over 200,000 people visited the Waterpod in 2009.
Process Statement
I begin by doing research, building sculptures, composing scenarios for performances, documenting, and creating photographic composites.
