FOUND INSTALLATIONS are time-based processes in rural and city spaces transformed through collaboration with the spaces. They may be experienced in one of four ways- as a live process, as documented video of a new choreography generated in relation to a specific space, as video art or as installation performance with video.
Artist Statement || Video
I find parks, gyms, natural habitats or rare buildings for time-based processes. These non-art spaces often provide exciting immediacy in the form of unanticipated interactions with people, things and sound that inspire dance or a new way of occupying a space. I often video my collaboration with these Found Installations and work with the footage so you can experience phenomenological aspects of time-based composing encompassing the visual, kinesthetic and auditory in relationship to time and space. Sometimes other people are engaged in prescribed activities or conversely, there’s a wonderful absence of the events usually assigned to these spaces. I am free to receive both kinds of inspiration through the interaction of social forces or through conjuring, perceiving, identifying and tracking the interplay between the senses, an embodied imagination and context.
