In the frontier world of web technology I have found a medium that encompasses and expands the lush, pluralistic and multi-layered qualities of my previous dada-inspired photomontage work. Freed from the restricting two-dimensional context by technological advances,
I engage in fragmented narratives and sub-narratives that form and reform as multiple windows open and close.
I orchestrate […]
Descent to the Underworld:

Like seamstresses, they reshaped and embroidered their tales so that today, we recognize the pattern of the Cinderella or Psyche stories, even when they’ve been done up in a different […]
