Momentary movements

Installation/performance at EFA Project Space, New York, NY

I have been exploring the idea of body geometry by incorporating abstraction, movement and color. I am interested in creating an experience, and a dialogue between the body and common materials. The actions are explorations of subtle and momentary movements. The process and result are raw and unedited.

For See the World in Orange and Blue, I use both of my hands simultaneously to draw and paint on the wall, a sketchbook and paper to create an instinctive dance of two complementary colors leading to the formation of a third color.
