I am a multimedia artist interested in exploring how our relationship to technology can inform how we relate to ourselves and one another. My work temporarily de-centers humans (sometimes instead on artificial intelligences), then re-centers on humans, in order to better empathize with ourselves. As someone who has struggled with depression and intense feelings of shame, I understand not being able to empathize with the self until I see the same struggle in someone or something else. I feel obligated to use my art to let others know they are not alone and don’t have to justify their existence to anyone. Themes of self-worth, being seen, and unconditional love show up often in my pieces. The medium that has the biggest presence in my work is sound. Most often, I present my work through installation. My approach is also influenced by my past as a classically trained vocalist. I was taught the proper vocal technique in the context of operatic singing. Knowing the supposed correct way of creating sound with the body inspired me to challenge and remix traditional vocal techniques with filtration methods like using autotune, a vocoder, or a talkbox. The experimental sound design techniques present in my portfolio are AI-generated music, adaptive, live, or evolving soundscapes, intentional feedback looping, and vocal filtration. My sound projects and songs are sometimes accompanied by sculptures made out of old technologies and/or resin. My installations are best displayed in a dedicated room where sonic disturbances are not just tolerated, but expected.
