As a theater maker with formal training in studio arts and a long history as a visual artist, my interests and inclinations are tied to formal investigations more typically related to the visual arts. Though I work primarily as a scenic designer due to my deep interest in spatial relations and physical configurations of interaction, I prefer to engage that practice as it applies to site-responsive work or devised performance -- or through sound design, which is often a more uniquely effective storytelling mechanism. As a director I often work with small ensembles to act as author in devising pieces that reside at the formal nexus of movement, kinetic sculpture, and found-object assemblage. Working in tension with the politics and history of site, this work typically engages with questions of audience experience, authorship and authenticity.
