My recent work reflects external surroundings of clothing, dwelling, building, and natural environments that act as layers of protection for the body.  Each enclosure is a space that the body interacts with, and I am interested in seeing the connections between these elements.  I use white to blank out or make something seem as if it is no longer there while leaving traces from underneath a camouflage or covering. The duality of fleeting moments that could simultaneously last forever is evident in my video works.  By exploring a space with a set of rules, either with an object or with movement of the body, I can wander and wonder in the space of video through simple and sensory manners that prolong these experiences.  The object of video, whether projected on a wall or played through a screen, creates distance and acts as a closed, personal space that can be seen but not entered by the viewer.  The body is revealed through movement and sound.  Dualities of hard and soft, cool and warm, something concealed and what is revealed, and womb and tomb create tensions with visual references of clothing, building, and nature as exteriors for human explorations; together they express a contemplative view of vulnerability, the fine lines between safety and danger, and the edges of exploring both life and death.
