AIR February 23-March 1, 2021
I create installations, videos, events and audio. I work with natural materials that often change, such as light, shadows, ice, rust, water and the sky. I use these materials to create encounters that change from one moment to the next. I am interested in the similarities between materials that constantly change and our own physical and emotional evolution as humans. In order to make those comparisons, I bring nature into human spaces where it moves and transforms with its viewers.
