Short Bio With a Bachelor’s from Design Media Arts | UCLA, I have experimented with multiple forms of new media as artistic expression, in addition to my background in commercial video and design. My work is in a constant state of flux, reflecting the evolution of my subject matter, and experimenting with different processes to best fit the message being conveyed. Statement The recurring subject in my work is individual and collective identity as it is molded by socially constructed barriers and interconnection. Mediums used are performance, photography, video, social experiments, and interactive programming, often involving the viewer as part of the work. Experience/Thoughts about Boiling Process It was a moving experience to be part of the Boiling Process show because in addition to showing at a really cool space, I got a taste of the Tijuana culture. Sharing the space between Mexican and American artists allowed us to exchange ideas and learn about each other in a way that I’ve never experienced before.
