My artworks are meditations on insect communication and navigation. I engage in a mimetic way in the activities of insects and other invertebrates. Initially, this process feels repetitive and chaotic and requires endurance; however, a pattern emerges as I continue to behave as an insect. I manipulate speed and sound when editing the footage to emphasize these patterns of the performance, and the results are dance-like and rhythmic.
