Made: November 2005 Passing Over and Through 5 minutes, multi-channel DVD NTSC Passing Over and Through investigates issues surrounding displacement, place and surveillance in a country at war. This piece looks at Iraq from above and below, where the natural landscape, as well as the political one is forever being altered. What are the implications of that change? How will people be affected after their sense of place and home changes? Everyday we are inundated with footage from Iraq but rarely are we given enough time to fully comprehend the implications of our actions. By using footage that we see on a daily basis and re-contextualizing it in this piece, my goal is to provide an alternative view of the landscape and the people. Screened: Bologna Performing Arts Center, Cleveland, MS, USA. April 2005 / University of Memphis, ArtLab, Memphis, TN, USA. October 2005 Passing Through This piece investigates the issues surrounding the act of travel. There are many idle moments during a lengthy trip where you have nothing to do but look for hours on end. Noticing the smallest bits of the world, either minute or grand, they all hold importance in our lives. This piece invites the viewer to become seduced by the images from a far off land (large expanses of water, riding in rickshaws, boat rides in Vietnam) so that they might become engulfed in the process of looking and contemplate what that experience is like.

May 2003 Made: March 2003 Interruption I 6 minutes, single channel, DVD NTSC Nature and technology merging into one.
