Drone photography by Kevin Walsh, Tea Plantation, São Miguel, Azores, 2015.
My work conveys expansive emotional landscapes through metaphor and design; it ranges from whimsical poetic meditation to political critique.
 
The form changes to reflect my curiosity and inspiration but remains rooted in playful experimentation with tangible craft, spanning mediums such as video, performance, digital printing, frottage, metal, watercolor, and drawing.
 
I prioritize portable formats of documentation and expression; video, for example, is both made of light and light in weight. My material works, on the other hand, break down to fit in a suitcase and can be reassembled in a museum, cityspace, or gallery. I’ve spent twenty-five years packing light and compacting my artwork in this way – when the work is unpacked, it goes large.


This artist’s site is organized by the emotional circumstances that gave way to the work, as much as how the artist was shaped by her own life story.
