Shelley-Lovelace Engine (2024)
Collaboration with Mike Lacy
ABOUT
Made for OZ ARTS 10th birthday party. This interactive, solo experience, asked the participant to engage with a computer that analyzed their face and wrote a description of it, in the style of Mary Shelley. This information was then reconfigured and sent to a pepper’s ghost behind a curtain where that description was used to recreate the visage again in a wail of pain.
Inspired by the works of Mary Shelley and Ada Lovelace the Shelley-Lovelace Engine was designed to leave the participant thinking about the unsettling nature of the power of inorganic intelligence.
REVELRY (2017)
Collaboration with Jennifer Bonior & LINDSAY GORANSON
for HAUNTED (actors bridge + abrasive media)
ABOUT
Two eras meld into one as a woman both prepares for and remembers a celebration.
All things decay with time, even joyous memories. Our concept was born out of the desire to show both the beauty and the decay of a memory as one. We filmed a woman, Lindsay Goranson, in the 1950's preparing for a party in her home. Straightening up the living room, hanging decorations and wrapping presents. This video was projected onto a blank wall in our installation space and played on a loop.
Elements of the projected room were brought into the space but with a twist; they are now aged and worn versions of the pristine ones seen in the film. The streamers that once hung beautifully, dangle haphazardly from the ceiling. The presents now all be unwrapped, the paper in a pile and the items themselves covered in dust.
At the center of the room a table with a spoiled looking cake. An aged version of the woman in the video lights the already melted candles on the cake and then start eating. She discusses her party with her guests and near the end of the performance offer one of them a bite of the cake.
BITCHES BREW (2016)
Collaboration with Jennifer Bonior for MODULAR ART PODS
ABOUT
A silent tale of two witches battling across time periods.
Shot in the style of George Melies and the Lumiere Brothers, this experimental film loop utilized practical FX with a bit of hand drawn post FX.
A whirlwind of memory and progress, this neverending story is told within two side by side frames. Each frame is a domestic space inhabited by one of the witches. Both are simultaneously trying to change the past and influence the future, all while trying to survive. Throughout the loop they each embody both the older and newer versions of themselves as they travel between two vastly different time periods.
Separated by time, and frame, the witches struggle to alter the life of each other. With their identities as fluid as their spells, no good or evil can be seen. Their reason for fighting is unknown to us, but their determination is familiar to all. These complicated women experiment with power and influence, sometimes in control and sometimes just trying to stay above ground.
Presented in a 10x10 tent decorated to feel like the hut of a witch you may find in the woods. Two projections side by side invite the audience to sit and ponder the nature of power and what can be lost when it is misdirected.
