My current work includes site-specific interventions and the creation of immersive environments that are experienced through several senses (smell, hearing, sight, touch). Both the interventions and the physical installations are concerned with how we, as physiological and as political bodies, occupy space. To the extent that any piece is site specific it is related to this core idea of the body occupying space. Therefore, while most of the work could be executed anywhere, it is site-specific in that it was developed in response to specific social and physical attributes of the locale in which it was built; and is intended to be experienced by people within that same locale.

These pieces often seek to directly alter the awareness of the viewer/participant by employing sensory contradiction and disjuncture to create moments of physical and sensorial engagement. By setting up a disjuncture between the expectations created by our visual sense and what is experienced through our other senses - and especially through that least mediated sense, smell - these pieces temporarily alter the relationship between expectation, intention, and perception. The participant is in a position to recalibrate their understanding of the local environment and their relationship to it.

The impetus behind this body of work is the recovery of literal experience and the development of a language of physical space that articulates its relationship to bodily sensation. Inspired by the condition of synaesthesia, which is the crossing of different senses, my work seeks to create an opportunity for perceiving differently, for however brief a moment.
