    Revolving Twilight is an immersive multi-media installation, combining video, audio, sculptural elements and performance, inspired in part by tales from nautical lore, the behavior of light particles, ghost ships and the reveries of a drowning victim. Engaging minimal yet evocative images, dance and sculptural elements and buoyed by an intricate sound score, Revolving Twilight explores converging realms; particles collide to create something new, light with water, imagination with reality, science with mystery. The piece is an open-ended hallucination without a beginning or an end; a hypnotic dream world combining moments of exuberant chaos with serene beauty and rest.

    the horror the horror (I have plenty of energy to drive over there), 2011 is a largely improvised live sound and video performance spectacle, which engages notions of loss, memory, eroticism and rage. Seamlessly incorporating live and processed imagery, electronic, and acoustic music, the work references Bernini's Ecstasy of St. Theresa, Brando's death scene form Apocalypse Now, and the rantings of a drunk and enraged Mel Gibson.  the horror the horror conjures a slowed down realm of breathing, watching, and dreaming, using multiple large scale video projections, surround sound audio, and a live dancer to spin a gothic meditation on American pop culture and the personal obsessions of madmen.
