In my practice I focus on triggering the viewer’s visceral experience, thereby allowing the onlooker to explore their own shifting states of perception by imploring the natural perceptions of vision and sound. My video work and sound-art installations employ different media outputs and range in their presentation from intimate monitor displays to public large-scale, site-specific and interdisciplinary projections, oftentimes including elements of live performance. Utilizing my research and latest findings of neuroscience and how the critical five senses of humanity are correlated to our experience and memory of a past event, I deliberately distort and create a dissonance between the visual image and the audio.

After a life-threatening head-injury, I suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the result of a prolonged coma. Facing a partial loss of some of my senses, my work is informed by the desire to explore human perception and identify various stages of awareness. My work explores how the intricate roles of the five senses trigger, consciously as well as subconsciously, our recollection of past experiences informs and overlays the actual experience of the moment in our culture. Through this I enable the viewer to use their own imagination to become part of a physical experiment to interrogate their own expectations of how memory is created, perceived and recorded.
