Boxher 2016-2017
Boxher is a first time collaboration between sound artist and composer Jason Sharp http://www.jasonsharp.ca/ and first solo creation. This exchange was founded on the idea one’s need for space, and our adaptation to new space. With changing climates, we see the animals of the north adapting to human spaces, otherwise unknown to them. The idea gave rise to use Jason’s electrocardiogram, connected to my heart and made audible through a modulator synthesizer. Read more.

My Puppet in The Closet 2014
My Puppet in The Closet was built within the creative residency "Nous Sommes l'Ete", established by Alexis Trepanier for emerging artists in the summer of 2014. Here I worked with five dancers, Anne-Flore Rochambeau, Laura Toma, Lea Tremblay Fong, Alexis Trepanier and Tiffany Boffa. Chilhood memory was a place of departure within our research as was personal interrogations. To read more about the process click here.

CYCLe 2014
CYCLe was inspired by Ruth Gwily's illustrated book "Cycle". It is a fragmented story of two individuals who meet at different periods in their lifetime. We meet them as lovers, and follow them through their transitions between young and old. We start to see the connections between these two opposites and the further they grow from each other, the more they are intrinsically linked. Read more.
