Aggregate

​Drawings, video, and objects 2020 - Present

AGGREGATE:

1. A whole formed by combining several (typically disparate) elements.

2. A material or structure formed from a loosely compacted mass of fragments or particles.

Work in Progress

 Between 2021  and 2023 Aggregate , a cross disciplinary project has been supported  with funding from the Bisbee Arts Commission, the Arts Foundation of Tucson and Southern Arizona Creosote StART to Heal Grant,  and an award/ mini-grant from the Confluence Center of Creative Inquiry, as part of the Fronteritades  program at the University of Arizona, which was supported by the Andrew Mellon Foundation.

Version one of video short "Aggregate" (2021) has been published  and is permanantly archived by the University of Arizona  Libraries' Special Collections  website as part of the Fronteridades program.

(x)trACTION - 2022

(X)trACTION

2022:

An expanded version of the video Aggregate is part of a program entitled (X)trACTION created by 5 media artists. This group effort was initiated by artist Cathy Lee Crane in 2021 and includes Cathy Lee Crane, Jason Livingston, Nicole Antibe, and Erin Wilkerson. Their work reflects on and maybe even destroys the term “extraction.” The program has been screened in Central School Project, Bisbee, Cornell Cinema, Cornell, NY, and in July at the Harun Farocki Institut, Berlin, Germany.
