Abstract
When somebody we love gives us a gift, it becomes a shared skin. We can move in this skin—we can touch and feel our loved one through a common surface. Whether it be object, clothing, or a note, the potency of our beloved’s imprint fills a once empty slate with meaning. Everything has the potential to become this shared third skin—something I can touch to generate a deeper understanding of my longings.
My work questions underlying power dynamics within language and seeks to frustrate common assumptions about reality. I use poetic imagery to disrupt our static conceptions of language. This poetic action challenges our assumed conceptual structure. Using ideas gathered from object theater, the language of film, and linguistic inquiry, I create dreamlike situations that utilize sound, text, and image reconstruction to form nonlinear narratives.
