Facial Reconstruction
In February 2011 I decided that I was tired of my face and its associated personality. I created a “Goodbye Video” which screened at Chashama, NYC, in which I say goodbye to my parents and gave my reasons for changing my face. In collaboration with various designers and tools, I created mockups of my new face (see below). After undergoing the reconstruction I made my first appearance at an art show at Chashama on March 24, 2012. I crowned myself Prom Queen since I deserve it! Thanks to all who have supported me, and please stay tuned to ...

Environmental Destruction
I support the environment at La Tortuga Verde through the destruction of my art to point to the imbalance in the time and energy that we spend preserving human creations vs preserving the natural world and to call witness to the beauty that the natural world, though temporary, shares with us. I have also donated $200 to the sanctuary for the purchase and replanting of 800 sea turtle eggs. In viewing each piece of art the viewer bows to the art (see installation views). Special thanks to Tom, Jason, Pam, Chioma, Carrie, Julio, Hersom, ...

The Waves of Circo Romany
The traveling circuses of El Salvador are a major form of entertainment for the people of that country, many of whom have no electricity. One night in March 2012, when the circus was visiting El Cuco (a place where everyone other than my crew had walked) I marveled at the universality and impermanence of our culturally specific entertainment structures, and at a world pre-Internet. The video is me in the ocean waves at El Cuco. The photographs were taken at the circus and were put in glass cases with cheap earrings and submerged in a few ...
Facetook
After an internet accident in 2011 I've undergone a series of facial reconstructions in an attempt to show my face again in public. Facetook / Inspired by the current technological limitations on facial reconstructions, the predominance of women's faces in the media, and the internet's ability to archive faces via Facebook and Google, I comment on having my face taken and my attempts to reconstruct it. Photographs, approximately 20 in the series. And a couple from a related series, Facemade /
Over Dance
Over Dance is inspired by my life as a dancer from age 5 ending this year when I decided I was "over dance." Using video, photos, text, children's ballet books, and costumes from the Metropolitan Opera House, it shows the beauty, majesty, fantasy, failure, and death of dance. Below are excerpts from one of the videos and a photo.

I decided it was time to finally upload some of my old favorite photos to my site! I never quite realized how different I looked from my Freshman year at college and the Freshman 15 (or... 25...oops...

The 18-Walled Room of Story
The 18 Walled Room of Story explores our society's fascination and obsession with story. The viewer speaks the lines printed on the video through a microphone and hears Story's response. With Steve Burns (the original Steve from Blue's Clues) playing Story the viewer has an eerie experience of simultaneous endearment and repulsion by the Story. Raw material is drawn from Be Story Free, a play by Inverse Theater. With dancers Troy Ogilvie, Carson Reiners, and Luke Murphy, text by Kirk Wood Bromley, voice by Steve Burns, and musical ...
