My “Multiples” are diaries of sorts, exploring a span of time, a place, a text, an event. Viewers create their own narrative by exploring each element separately or inventing their own dance of the eye, looking for connections.
In Ancient Greece, a caryatid was a large stone female figure that supported an architectural mass, the entablature of a temple. This “Paper Caryatid” is a reflection on lightness and gravity and the source of strength during difficult times.

“Jugurtha” was inspired by a poem written in Latin in 1869 by 14 year old French poet Arthur Rimbaudin. In his poem, Rimbaud disparages the French invasion and occupation of Algeria by comparing the Emir Abdelkader, who resisted the French invasion in the 19th century, to Jugurtha, king of Numidia in 111-106 B.C. "Jugurtha" was created during the 2003 Irak invasion.

Compositions originated as a collaborative installation between artists and composers. This piece is a response to Norman Thibodeau’s 3 minutes long “Teyempiece”, which had been inspired in turn by my work.
