As a deaf artist researcher, I have worked with material agency, sound and music all my life. I recently took an installation, Cloak of Longing, to San Diego - sang and meditated with visitors, transforming sounds and rituals. At Summer School for the Study of Affect (Pennsylvania) I helped participants find and share thoughts in song-sounding. I built a virtual space for a community celebration of William Blake, a pioneer of aesthetic meaning in lyric. 

As a recording and fine artist, I’ve often sought to access a region outside judgement and to weave technology into experiential understanding. I’m committed to improvised contingency with available materials.
