I’m a New York-based interdisciplinary artist and my work includes film and digital photography, video, textiles, paint, paper sculpture and anything else I need to highlight political and philosophical inquiry, social justice, feministic themes, and material. My research employs phenomenology, cosmology (sort of), and auralogy (an emerging field which is not quite in our lexicon yet) . I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from SUNY and a Master of Arts degree from Columbia University, where I am currently a doctoral fellow researching how technological advancements have both augmented art production prolificacy and potentially diminished the auratic quality of artworks, while also lessening the artists’ ability to recall key moments in the art making experience. Through interviews with artists, this research (Press Send: A Search for Aura and Embodied Experience When Art is Borne from Machine) explores the role of sense memory and lived experiences in defining the aura of artworks and how artists achieve this quality in their work.
