Projecting Form, Investigating Distance
(2023)

This exposition describes a process of investigating projection of form as a bridge between near and far, physical and virtual, anchored in the production of what I call “handheld devices” and a multimedia performance. It explores sympathetic dwelling in the crevices of the clay forms in relation to the smooth openness of the built environment of scientific and institutional space exemplified by the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at the University of Oregon which graciously hosted me for a Center for Art Research Project Incubator residency and fellowship in 2023. In this text, I take up concepts of information and noise, distance and intimacy, affordances and the dynamics of action.
Self-shelter Stories

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
"Self-Shelter Stories" is a series featuring five self-portraits with projected images. The project originated from a selection of photos captured during the program, which individually reminded me of shelters but lacked connections among themselves. The cohesion is achieved by transforming them into self-portraits, simultaneously revealing both the author and the depicted scenes. References from Francesca Woodman and Vivian Maier influenced the self-portraits, while Spanish artist Martina Martencio served as inspiration for the projection elements.
