THE ROCK TREMBLES (2014-2018)
a series of inquiries into the rock object becoming subject, as always already "land" and never one thing.

SEEING IN THE DARK (2014)
Forsite Foundation, Nevada City, CA
As a student fellow at the Forsite Foundation residency site I worked with a 3-d scanner, solar sensitive pigment, and found rocks to reconstruct positionalities and consider what visibility is. Rocks were treated with solar pigment and gathered charge throughout the day, at night, by torch illumination, their new visibility was displayed. Once illuminated they offered a new way of navigating, seeing, and moving through forest space. A new (temporary) hierarchy of agency was established as the rocks designated a new path to follow in the darkness.

PUT ON YOUR GEO EYES (2014)
Forsite Foundation, Nevada City, CA
As a response to the theme of our projects at the Forsite Foundation, Undermining/Overmining: Dark Ecology in the Age of the Anthropocene. Along with other student fellows at the Forsite Foundation and facilitator Mia Feuer we created a view finder reel that carried a sequence of seven images that invited the viewer to "geo-ize" their visualities and investigate interrelative land/earth/body proximities.

I'm A Very Hard Rock (2015)
New Almaden Quicksilver Mines, San Jose, CA
This animated slide show presentation takes up the question of a rock's potential. It is a comical take on the sexual capacity of a rock, it's happiness, fullness, and bothness.
