some approaches to listening with/in places

Trace a path in a place of interest, at full scale in real time:

Two variations on an hour-long line drawing walk as field recording, registering my body’s vibrations in various terrain at Djerassi artist residency program in Woodside, California, 2025.

Ember inscriptions excerpt: three from a series of 22”x30” prints made from charred wood gathered in wildfire sites of northern California. 2023 - ongoing.

Notebook phonography informed by asemic writing, spectrograms, and oscilloscope imaging. A series of line drawings and notes led by listening to insects and airplanes, two environmental presences defining a place of temporary residence in the northern Santa Cruz Mountains, California, 2025.

Draw a line around a place of interest, at full scale, with the whole body:

Field recording as hour-long line drawing made with the vibrations of my body while walking the perimeter of a hazardous waste landfill in a natural remediation zone on Mare Island in Vallejo, California, 2024.
