Studio Location
Artwork
Pineal Action IV was a 5 ft. tall piñata, covered with texts on Aesthetics and perception, wacked by viewers after 6 wks of show
In PRESENT I read, I typed my immediate thoughts, I gave away the writings; during 225 hours of performance at PS1
Blinking Landscape is a Super-8 diptych installation about identity and perception
Still, Life is a small rotating sculpture about change, perception and the still life
Shattered Vision being Healed by Sound is a small sound sculpture about randomness, the absurd and perception

Artist's Statement
Curious about intersubjectivity and the possibilties of communication, I question boundaries—of subjects, of disciplines, of knowledge—to create tensions, to problematize, to simplify, to yield new layers of perception and thought. I critically employ a range of media, such as still and moving images, sound, objects, writing, and performative actions.
Deeply indebted to practices whose matrix is therapeutic, performative, ritualistic and political in its radicality, I am after something solid yet fragile; something solid yet fluid. And some tentative connections.
