Text-Mobiles
I love building “text-mobiles,” collections of texts that comment upon and dialogue with one another.
These are often texts from different cultures, time periods, or languages, organized around a central topic. The texts are juxtaposed, placed on equal footing, showing each text in a new light.

Greco-Roman
Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as modern Greek culture, are particularly fascinating to me, and many of my pieces draw on this great tradition.

Visual Art
Many of my pieces interact intimately with painting and sculpture.
