Sometimes I want my audience to have a one-on-one or self-guided relationship with my work, just like how you're currently engaging with this webpage through a computer. How close is your face to the screen? How do you hold your technology while reading these words? There are other moments when my work is far more collaborative, and willing participants dictate the outcome of my process. In those projects, I become the facilitator of an experience. What are you ready to (un)learn when you sit with me?
