《阈限(125)》limen (125), 2021

这一系列作品,我称之为“阈限系列”,是在自我隔离期间创作的。我住的公寓位于一栋建筑的一楼,几乎所有的窗户都是封闭的,并且都覆盖着半透明的白色薄膜。我与外部世界的关系只能通过薄膜和窗台之间的缝隙感知。通过留心观察、慢慢品味并专注于这一边界的细微差别,我在室内和室外空间的边界上发现了新的世界。这些场景像是拥有自己深度和独特性的风景。
This series of work, which I’ve titled the ‘limen series’, was created this during a period of self-quarantine. The apartment I was living in was on the first floor of a building, almost all of the windows were sealed shut, and all were covered in a white semi-opaque film. My relation to the external world was only perceivable through the gaps between the film and the sill. By paying attention, taking my time and focusing on nuances of this boundary, I discovered new worlds at the limit between inside and outside space. The sites resembled landscapes that had their own depth and singularity.

我是一个生活和工作在美国宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的艺术家。
我的艺术实践是一种思考的方式,是理解一种经历、一个概念、一种直觉或一种情感的模式,是处理这些遭遇的一种形式。具体的表达方式不是预先设定的,而是在这个过程中逐渐发展起来的。我的作品通过单一或多种媒体找到其解决方案和实现方式——视频、声音、音乐、物体、写作、绘画、摄影等。
我于2013年获得加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校的艺术硕士学位,2009年获得布兰迪斯大学的艺术研究生证书,2008年获得匹兹堡大学的艺术学士学位。
I am an artist living and working in Pittsburgh, PA in the United States.
My art practice is a way of thinking through some thing. It is a mode of making sense of an experience, a concept, an intuition, an affect. It is a form of processing these encounters. The particular mode of expression is not given in advance, it develops alongside this process. My work then finds its solution and realization through a singular or aggregate of media – video, sound, music, objects, writing, drawing, photography, etc.
I received my MFA from the University of California, Davis (2013), a Post-Baccalaureate certificate in Studio Arts from Brandeis University (2009) and a BA in Studio Arts from the University of Pittsburgh (2008).
