Subfield description
My work examines the residue of language through various communication systems. From giant electronic message boards to artifacts from lapsed writing systems such as typewriters my work questions our bodies in relation to communication systems. This body of work has been shown at such places at DAC in New York, Frame 301, beverley, MASS and several artist run centers in Canada, and in periodicals such as poiesis a journal of the arts and communication current volume twelve, 2010: the poietics of alterity.
