FOUND INSTALLATIONS are time-based processes in rural and city spaces, transformed through collaboration (with the spaces). 

I inhabit parks, gyms, natural habitats or rare buildings to create relationally with what and whom occupy the space. These non-art spaces often provide exciting immediacy in the form of unanticipated interactions with people, things and sound that inspire dance or a new way of being and creating in the space. I often video my collaboration with these Found Installations and work with the footage so viewers can experience phenomenological aspects of time-based composing occurring through relationship. 

Sometimes other people are engaged in prescribed activities in the spaces or conversely, there’s a wonderful absence of the events usually assigned to these spaces. I am free to receive both kinds of inspiration through the interaction of social forces or through conjuring, perceiving, identifying and tracking the interplay between the senses, an embodied imagination and context.
