December 2022, I flew to Iceland and began one month of residence with 40 other incredible artists from around the world. The experience was intense, rich, and profoundly inspired.

The sculpture SpaceTime was the project which took most of my time at the residency. Of course there was a lot of other creative endeavors along the way, as well as the incredible dive into the community of artists and art-making.
The performance, CreationMyth happened at the opening of the Festival, January 2023
In the stark Icelandic Landscape the sun penetrates the clouds, and pounds the earth with arms of electricity. We feel as though we are born of the sun, and dance to find our feet on the earth.

Sculpture is chicken wire, newspaper, glue, and gypsum
It was built over the course of 2.5 weeks.
In the final week after opening performances, I worked with Fresh Wind Artists to create this performance piece, viewed through sculpture.
