Last summer, I was part of the collaborative, experimental sound art residency Field Kitchen Academy in Perleberg, Germany (outside of Berlin), studying with sonic thinker and composer Sam Auinger. I created some works with the female-identifying and non-binary residents, recording their voices individually in an 1830s old rusted barn silo.

Untitled (archery)
In 2007, I made two videos inspired by Thomas Edison’s 1901 film entitled the Gordon Sisters Boxing. The sisters were the first female pugilists who toured vaudeville.
