​

I am called to bring people into their bodies and thus their minds– to heighten their spiritual attention. In this particular piece, “Four Walls, Two Selves,” I examined the way that the current lack of physical space I inhabit in New York has impacted my propensity to work. The limitations of space and time along with the never-ending demands that the city places on my attention created this piece. I worked in dance, video, collage, and text to meld ideas together, and then you, the viewer, must decide what will keep your attention. That is the choice I want people to consider, is where you place your attention, even if just for a moment.
