Embodying Process, 2023Project Statement: Inspired by my time last summer at a collaborative, experimental sound art residency outside of Berlin, I have been working on collaborative sound projects for the past year. I’ve taken five classes at TAAS and what I appreciate most is the diverse global community and close-knit relationships that are formed both in and out of the online classroom. To honor TAAS and my global community, I asked my current and some former classmates to sound the phrase“Embodying Process” in their first language. I’ve layered their voices into a mini-symphony, rich with textured intonations and cadence. Grateful to my collaborators—Amber Imrie, Catriona Towriss, Danielle Wykoff, Deniz Toka, Jess Levine, Laura Miller, Leland Powley, Marcela Vieira,Miro Soares, Pierre Gervois, Pooja Chopra Bahri, Ying Ye.

She received her BFA from Pratt Institute in New York and her MFA from Syracuse University.
