THE WEBSITE FOR MY NEW COLLABORATIVE PROJECT, FALSE RHYME: THE SOUND OF SCIENTIFIC FAILURE, IS UP AND RUNNING.

I am an artist, researcher, and educator based in Lubbock, Texas. I earned a PhD in Performance Studies and certificate in Film Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, where I made puppets, did design-oriented solo performance, researched Czech surrealist stop-motion in Prague, taught at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and wrote a dissertation on discourses of life in animation, dance film, and digital architecture. Before coming to Texas Tech University, I was assistant professor of arts theory/practice at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. 

An artist committed to both live and media-based performance (indeed, in breaking down the distinctions between them), I have exhibited my work in galleries and performance spaces in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, India, Japan, Mexico, Taiwan, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, and across Europe and the United States. Most recently, I have presented collaborative performance at the Prague Quadrennial (Czech Republic), performance art at the World Stage Design exhibition in Taipei (Taiwan) and at Co-Opt Research + Projects in Lubbock (Texas), performance documentation at the Sofia Underground International Festival of Performance Art (Bulgaria), and video art at the Athens Festival of Queer Performance (Greece) and Lansing's Capital City Film Festival (Michigan).

I am also a scholar who writes about media and the aesthetics of subjectivity in 19th-21st century contexts. I have given sustained attention to corporeality in analog and digital animation, girlhood in fine art and popular media, media technologies of affective labor, and the agency of objects and images. I have additional expertise in discourses of interdisciplinarity in the arts-based humanities as well as nontraditional formats for academic scholarship. My first book, Girlhood and the Plastic Image, was published by Dartmouth College Press in June of 2014. A more detailed statement about my scholarly research is available on this page.
