It dawned on me this morning that over the course of my lifetime, I have dove into different artistic research based on the project I was working on. Each of the shows I have created has helped me explore additional research which I have carried into future projects. There are also common elements that I return to, such as audience participation, eco-empathy, convergence & divergence, randomness, queering, etc..
To aggregate the different research I have done over the past 10 years, I have listed these elements below. Please note, I will be continually adding to this list.
