Language has been a challenge for me for as long as I can remember, but it is at the center of everything I do and everyone I meet. I use performance captured on video, glass, light, and found objects to explore the boundary between the hearing world and the deaf world where I exist. I choose to inform both communities with a common language that I will create.
