Downtown Houston Public Art Project

Snow Globe on the Bayou, sponsored by Downtown Houston
Dec 20-29, 2024

Excited to announce a public art event in downtown Houston. This immersive experience features digital artworks projected onto a 50-foot water screen in Buffalo Bayou Park. I recently collaborated with my TAMU colleague, Meg Cook, on a new experimental animation titled "HOU-SCOPIC". Our piece is one of three works that will be featured at the top and bottom of the hour.

*After the 29th, the project will be moved to a different downtown location for a longer screening period (TBA).

Group Show: PERSIST RESIST COEXIST

“PERSIST RESIST COEXIST”
Wright Gallery, TAMU College of Architecture, TX
Aug. 25-Oct. 16, 2020

PERSIST RESIST COEXIST is a group exhibition celebrating women rights. My work on view is from a new series called “Time Scraps from the Universe”, where I am repurposing old photo projects, materials, and scraps from my studio to make new works in collage, stop-frame animation, and installation. Through the act of self-reflection and connecting common threads, I am thinking about creativity as an iterative loop or spiral, in which recontextualizing the past can foster reinvention or forge alternative pathways. The small pieces in the show function as sketches for potential larger works.

Virtual Opening Reception and Artists Talks: TBA
