During this pandemic, performance developed in my work as a response to lockdowns, then as comic relief and now as mediative practice. Sometimes I appear in the videos, performing for the camera as in This is Mine... (2020). Or I am performing with the camera like the twirling in Center of Gravity (2021). Or I utilize the camera’s POV articulating performative motion, as in The Destruction Project (2020). 

Last summer, I began emphasizing doubling and silence in my work. I documented fragments of my daily walks: treetops blowing in the wind, shadows on streets, leaf patterns on grass, and lake horizons, spanning seasons. Peppered in the videos are simple scenes from spaces I inhabit (burning incense, windows) or outdoor sites I have briefly called home (campfire, waterfall). 

The kurana mediations 1 & 2 (2021) exemplify a Rorschach technique. This doubling creates an elongated center-focused frame with either a kaleidoscope effect as the images bend and turn or an expansive open center with doubling at edges. The silent videos invite the viewer to experience their breath and ambient soundscape as the imagery jumps from one scene to another.
