Abstract
sweeping the forest floor of frequencies is a Master of Fine Art thesis project comprised of the dossier and the exhibition presented at the Artlab Gallery July 27 - August 11, 2023. My writing and multidisciplinary work foreground sonic, visual, and imperceptible signals as search modes for grounding and interconnectedness. The Comprehensive Artist Statement is the first chapter of the dossier and focuses on drawing, listening, and exploring forms of language as three dominant modes of my practice that reflect my fragmented life between three countries. In its form, the writing embraces fragmentation and iterative growth through refragmentation, drawing on my embodied experience and methods of creation in the studio. The second chapter of the dossier is an interview with Anna Friz at Wave Farm in Acra, NY that includes discussions on radio and transmission art, process-based iterative art practice, engagement of discarded materials and technology in installations, and interdisciplinary research. The third chapter includes selections from the documentation of the exhibition at the Artlab.
