I am fascinated with the magic and of light and reflection. Specifically I am interested in how the quality of these reveal the fallibility of perception and the necessity to question what we think we see, or to go beyond and deeper into alternative perspectives.
The most recent JKM collaboration was work shopped in 2009 at 9×22 Bryant Lake Bowl. We each designed a pair of dancing shoes and developed 3 min movement with the support and assistance of each other. This video segment features the footwear and movement designed by Mary Esch. automatic translationswebsite down .
I have worked in collaboration with JKM ( myself, Mary Esch and Josie Winship) for 10 years! In 2003 I brought the group together for “Windmills and Mirrors”, a performance at Intermedia Arts , Naked Stages. At that time I was interested in what three fundamentally visual artists might do using time, space and sound in a visual modality.
Thankfully, we have continued making performances together ever since. This summer for the first time we will collaborate in our primary discipline. Mary has invited us to show with her at the Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts later this summer. Watch for updates on our progress and more detail about the exhibition soon.
