Drifting Records
Drifting Records is a site-specific sound installation, the body of the installation will be similar to a record player, only it can be used to play pancake ice – a stunning natural phenomenon: fragile circular discs with raised edges that form when water freezes as fragments of ice flow and rotate with the currents. This installation restores to an extent the sound created by the delicate collision and rotation of the pancake ice during their formation.
To Melt
Master Theses, 2023, “When faced with these accumulated imbalances, how might artists assume responsibility in the ecological crisis? How do we navigate this collapse? Is there a better, more dynamic approach to understanding nature through new imaginaries and, in doing so, to foster an empathetic way of being on the planet.”
Ice: Solar Etchings
Sited along the Mill River near New Haven, Connecticut, the video captures the environmental sounds and the moving trajectory of the sun and the weather through an ice lens. Operating as a drawing tool, the focal point of the ice lens (formed from the river water) etches the paths of movement as textural impressions on paper. As the ice breaks and melts, the arc reaches its end, and the sun sets. The water then returns to the river, leaving behind the arc as the sole remnant.
Calling
In this ambitious project, the artist sets out to explore a new dimension of site-specific installations that are a re-presentation of natural occurrences. These installations "could have" already existed in nature and "must have" if given enough time into the past or future. Thus, this project not only intervenes in the space it occupies, but also integrates a far-reaching space-time continuum or offers a glimpse into the future.
Cyan No-Type
This is a research-based, collaborative art project that goes back and forth between antique and digital technologies, dimension and material through various experiments based on data extracted from nature.
