Eat Your Heart Out!

Eat Your Heart Out! is a performance for which I created fifty popsicles cast in the shape of a life-sized human heart. I sold these at Floristree during the Transmodern Festival in Baltimore, MD and they were consumed by the festival attendants.

    • An Eye For An Eye

    An Eye For An Eye is a site-specific video installation that was created for The Rotating History Project. It incorporates video footage of the front two windows of the Slave Quarters at the Clermont Farm in Berryville, Virginia. It was installed in the Smokehouse on the Clermont property.

    The piece explores the psychology of this architectural site as it relates to race and power. The windows were shot from both the inside and outside over the course of twelve hours. The viewer is chronologically presented with these alternating views, which could be considered as those of owner or slave. These deliberately blurred images point to the unresolved issues attached to the legacy of slavery in our society.

    • Sync

    Sync is a performance created with programmer Dan Zink. Performer Autumn Breaud's heartbeats are transmitted and manipulated live in quadraphonic sound via iPad. Audience members are invited to lie around Breaud as a wave of throbbing, meditative sound washes over them.

    A recording of the work is available on Ehse Records.

    • Flight 2

    Flight 2 grew out of Flight 1. This installation expands the number of fans, pickups, and amplifiers to increase the volume and texture of the audio. Themes from Flight 1 are referenced, but in this setting, the air and sound have a much more menacing intensity that suggests large methods of transport or war.

    • Flight 1

    Flight 1 compares how both humans and birds will relocate in search of shelter. A guitar pickup is clipped onto a fan and plugged into an amplifier. The pickup contains a disc that is sensitive to pressure, so the sound we hear is the fan’s vibrarion. The air and the sound travel through space, alluding to flight paths. The feathers that protrude from the fan further illustrate this metaphor.
