Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

My work explores spaces and experiments with objects; using the senses to reach an understanding of their function and relationship to myself and others. Through a variety of materials and technology I create sculptures or installations that attempt to question how we perceive, understand, and engage with our surroundings.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

At the Glogauair artists in residency program, which is both an active thriving artist community and located in Berlin, I hope to embark on an exploration of a variety of artiﬁcial landscapes throughout the community. In particular, I have recently been curious about the senses and the use of scents, how they are utilized to convey information, and how natural verses learned understandings of scents conﬂict within our contemporary global society. The city of Berlin and its art scene are very international, as well as very rich in history while also being new in thought. I hope to be able to discover more about how we use our senses globally in such a diverse and international city. During my stay at Glogauair I hope to be able to explore further the artiﬁcial landscapes of Berlin and push my work to become more engaging to people in a city that understands the comfort of the artiﬁcial and the displacement of nature.
