Urban Camping in Antwerp, Belgium. The camping tower now tours though Europe each

Chicago (BFA 2007, MArch 2010).
"I work as a choreographer of people, capital, and knowledge.
Logic, order, and purity, are simultaneously ideals and impossibilities.
The messy idiosyncrasies and chaos of life abound and fascinate me.
It is small histories and gestures that define place, emotion, and spectacle.
Spaces awaken memories, and memories sediment into spaces.
In producing space, I mediate between smooth ideals and gritty, textured realities."
