I am a sound and visual artist. My work is about the intersection between the digital and human realms. In painting I am interested in the influence of technology on the psychology of existence and how bodies are now most often lit by light from electronic devices. I explore the sensations of being, the intensity of emotion, the distortion of the physical form mirroring the play of reveal and conceal on the internet. In sound I am most interested in noise as catharsis and drone as healing influences. I record and effect my voice, with particular interest in granulating or breaking it up. I am interested in a human collaboration with the accidental glitches of computers. Words and poetry are an important part of my practice and I am interested in recovery from negative experiences through storytelling. I work with the different ways to digitally modify, loop, arrange sounds, predominately the voice and spoken word, but also field recordings and sampled instruments. I am a solo artist, one half of Skeleton Woman and a core member of NYX: electronic drone choir.
