During 2024 Black Mountain College Active Archive Residency, Black Mountain, NC“I am influenced by depictions of otherness, from H.P. Lovecraft's fictional tales of Cthulhu and ghost and alien abduction stories to actual reports of hallucinatory experiences.
By mimicking a supernatural-like encounter, I reflect the unknowable and the ambiguity within ourselves.”
