Bedtime Stories: A dance video created for Renegade Performance Group.

Single-Channel Video & Sculpture: This video is projected onto a screen sculpture composed of five rows of polyurethane strips creating a 3-dimensional viewing space. The vantage point of the viewer changes her experience so that she may see a jumble of geometric shapes at one position or a compelling image at another. The screen mimics our mind’s eye and highlights the subjectivity of the story of the film: a romantic magical realism tale with a strong sense of place.
