ShiroOni Residency
​Onishi, Gunma Prefecture, Japan

Sound samples were collected from the Japanese landscape  during an art residency at Shiro Oni. The sound samples were sent back to (Saskatoon counterpart Paul DeHaven) in the U.S. to create an environmental soundscape reflecting place and time.  The audience was invited to listen, reflect and write about gratitude in there own life and place it in the alter. During this residency pottery was made using traditional anagama kiln using wood fire method over the course of three days and nights.

Exhibition

Sound was collected from the room and processed through electronic tools to create a soundscape that reflects on memory and present moment. The boat is made of willow wild harvested from Colorado. Blind contours showcase intimate moments with Denver's music  scene and from travels. Tea Bags are a symbol of humble moment meditations. The audience was asked to write down a humble moment from their day and hang it up.

Untitled Sound
Sound installation
Denver Art Museum
Denver, CO
2018

This is a project that invited the audience to create a soundscape with several audio cassette tapes and several tape players. Each tape had a composition of sound that reflected a photograph in the museum. One or several tapes could be played together or separately. The audience became a sound environment designer.

Recording The
Sound You Can’t Hear

aha festival 
Santa Fe, NM
​2016

This was an interactive performance piece inspired by tea ceremonies, sound, sensory memory,  and the ‘sounds’ of what we can’t ‘see’ or ‘hear’.  We will explore the delicate and simple things in life. The audience was invited to participate in Tagging. Tagging is a work that asks the audience to go to a randomized point of Longitude and Latitude to go and find art. It is a practice of seeing and shifting perspective to help make a distinction in seeing vs. looking, alike to the distinction of hearing vs. listening.
