Cerberus (2024)

video, 1 minute loop

Through short, looped, video vignettes that configure as multi-channel installations, I look to engage the viewer in contained experiences aimed at evoking questions that relate to the ways in which we see the natural world and we think about history, knowledge, time, and violence. Cereberus is the first of this new body of work. How we experience time as humans has a lot to do with how we value other life forms–the long life of a tree, the short life of a bug. In Cerberus, Peace Lillies move and behave in a manner that we would not expect from a flower. Using chiaroscuro and animation, the piece asks us to think about time, life, and intelligence differently.
