Areas of Interest

Drawing on my dual background in performance and animation, my work explores the threshold at which a production or process comes to life. In 2006, I founded The New School for Post-Animative Thought as a way of thinking about animation as a concept – ‘to bring to life’ – and applying it to performance and constraint-based work in other media. I am interested in processes of making that achieve a ‘reality effect’, or produce something that ‘passes’ as a particular form – whether that form is a character, a rock band, a radio show, or a film. I believe my work has particular relevance in Los Angeles, where there is so much industry based around creative production and performance. I aim to question the value placed on professionalization and high-cost high-tech production, and instead to make the idea of animating, in its broad sense, less laborious and more accessible and fun.
