Teaching

My teaching interests are centered on establishing an atmosphere of curiosity in the classroom.  It is curiosity that engages exploration, formulates questions, and encourages idea realization.  Curiosity is not safe – oftentimes it is the prerequisite for the greatest success or the most disastrous failure. In my classroom students of various backgrounds oscillate between their trained fields and their collaborative efforts in entering new territory.  These crossovers that happen between the arts, sciences, and the humanities create an air of invention and the interactions that result are invaluable.  It is my desire to foster an interdisciplinary approach – this was my training as an artist and I find it useful for engaging in constructive discourse.

Research/Scholarship

My work and research as a practicing artist explores site-specific video and sound installations that concern the interdisciplinary relationships between art and science, including the social, political and cultural perspectives that artwork takes on in the public domain.
