                                ARTIST STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                I create sound and video installations, digital photographs, drawings, paintings, and performances. My subject matter often focuses on nonlinear narratives set in and around the landscape in which I live and work, in other words, my home and neighborhood. My work also engages the mythical and fantastic to question what is familiar. To this end, I appropriate narrative and thematic elements from literature and historical record. Elfin spirits, conspiracy theories, mythical civilizations, human attempts at achieving utopia, and post-apocalyptic dystopia are some examples of these themes.<\/p>\n

                                In my current work, I explore the idea that nature engenders architecture, which in turn influences how we see and relate to the natural world. Within this dynamic conversation, I explore the way community structures have been affected by the interfusion of architecture, space, and nature.<\/p>\n

Cathedrals<\/em> was a site-specific, multi-sensory solo-show that continued my exploration of the intersection between nature and architecture. I reimagined familiar surroundings and structures, such as cathedrals and coastal bunkers, as monuments, taking the viewer on a journey from reality to imagination. After the presentation in San Diego, a portion of the work moved to the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco for a subsequent, unique installation and performance as part of SonicLabs 7.<\/p>\n

                                Jan \u2013 Feb 2015<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Beach Town Anthems<\/em>: Artist-in-Residence at A Ship in the Woods, Del Mar, CA. For this project, I created anthems and soundscapes for the surrounding towns of North County San Diego. These anthems were presented to the local government in hopes of the anthems being official. Accompanying the sound aspect of the project was an installation with both 2D work as well as a performance with projected experimental video exploring town\u2019s architectural and natural elements presented at the opening and closing of the show.<\/p>\n

                                Sep 2014<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ark and Surroundings<\/em>: Alterspace Gallery and Artist in Residence at Mediate\u2019s Soundwave Festival, San Francisco, CA. Large-scale installation of sculpture, sound sculpture, video, and 2d mixed media. Building on the fear associated with environmental degradation, water pollution, and global warming, Ark and Surroundings<\/em> posits photos, drawings, maps of imagined environments, a boat, and a bridge with post-apocalyptic livable structures and commercial spaces.<\/p>\n

                                I built my version of a post-apocalyptic water structure,The Beacon<\/em>, a custom-built, life-size sailboat. The Beacon<\/em> is turned into a musical instrument, outfitted with pipe organ pipes and a pump organ, acting as a tool to communicate with water dwellers, much like a complex version of a fog horn. Different tones emanating from the boat represent unique messages that include warnings, as well as announcements from a town crier of sorts. An experimental documentary film projects onto the sail of The Beacon<\/em> and features interviews of dockworkers, architects, environmentalists, artists, merchant marines, freighter ship captains, and other experts related to the subject of livable structures and boat life. Interspersed between the video segments are abstract photos and drawings that feature manipulated photos taken from around the waterways of the Bay and revised into imaginary environments, mappings, and structures that service needs pertaining to education, home, community, commerce, and spirituality.<\/p>\n

                                The same spirit of imagined structures is translated onto the framed photos and drawings that surround The Beacon<\/em>. Two of the framed pieces are graphic notations with accompanying compositions, and the viewer is encouraged to listen along. The installation was built using architectural models, metal, designed in CAD, and cut with a CNC machine, and recycled material.<\/p>\n

                                TEACHING PHILOSOPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                The main principle of my teaching philosophy focuses on the idea that successful teaching should extend beyond the classroom and resonate at a level with the students that affects the way they may think about and approach art in its many varied forms in their daily lives. I believe it is the professor\u2019s job to help awaken the talent, ideas, imagination, and creative output of a student, hopefully in a way that they can apply in all aspects of their lives. It is a teacher\u2019s responsibility to always strive to improve upon their teaching skills, to work on creating a learning environment that is engaging and empowers both teacher and students to learn and engage in class discussions, to question and critique and allow ideas to develop, and to help guide ideas along until they are further developed. Improvement is the lifelong goal.<\/p>\n

                                I try and attain the goals of this teaching philosophy through various means and techniques. Some of the most important keys that I have found are by treating each student individually and with respect, understanding that each student brings their own knowledge and experiences into the class, giving students direct engagement and support, and critiquing the student in a way that is constructive and never demeaning. At the same time, I work at integrating the students into the class in a holistic manner, making sure that everyone participates in group discussions and critiques. The simple act of calling on each student to respond to the subject or lecture being discussed is not enough. I work towards making the student comfortable in the classroom, finding a way for them to relate on a personal level, and inspiring them to participate.<\/p>\n

                                With my background in activism and experience with worker-owned cooperatives, I am aware of how important supporting diversity and representation is to foster learning and encourage participation. I have had several anti-oppression trainings and consider myself a trained ally of the LGBTQ community. It is incredibly important to me that I use these skills to embrace and celebrate diversity and to make my classroom a safe space for all, especially those who may feel disenfranchised in life. Furthermore, sharing one\u2019s art can be a particularly vulnerable and emotional experience. This further emphasizes the importance of the class being a safe space for all.<\/p>\n

                                In addition to my understanding of group dynamics in relation to education, I have a strong understanding of the history of digital media. I use this knowledge to provide reference to the students\u2019 works and teach them about key figures and works of digital media. Also, I feel that it helps inspire the students to see other artists in their field as well as possibly generate ideas or help them see their work from a new perspective.<\/p>\n

                                The immersion of students into the professional world is an important aspect specifically to the instruction of the arts. From visiting galleries and museums to having gallery shows for end of the year classroom projects, it is important to get the students comfortable with showing their work to the public. I also require the students to attend outside lectures, regardless of the topic. Lectures in topics other than art help promote works that are interdisciplinary, expand the students\u2019 knowledge, and help them realize the educational resources of the University as well as the community.<\/p>\n

                                It is important to me that the student can articulate their ideas through written work as well as visual projects. Often, I will assign the reading of contemporary articles within the subject that I am teaching and assign a paper addressing the student\u2019s interpretation and response. Other written assignments have included summaries of the outside lectures or museum and gallery visits, or research on an assigned artist. Another tool that I have used in conjunction with written assignments that encourages participation is an online classroom blog. It is another way for the students to share their work and perspectives, see the works of fellow students, encourage students to document their work, and understand differing interpretations of works and reading materials. Furthermore, it helps inspire the students by engaging with their peers as well as ensures they stay on track by requiring regular participation.<\/p>\n

                                I relate to my students and understand how best to inspire them because I am a perpetual student. Always curious and seeking knowledge through creative means and expressions, I spend a great amount of time researching and reading about digital media and other subjects beyond art. I am constantly improving my technological skills and learning new software and programming languages. By constantly acquiring new computer skills, not only do I experience first-hand the best methods to learn technical programs but it also helps the students trust in my competency when teaching software to students in labs. To have a deeper understanding of the technology so that I can have answers to students\u2019 technical questions, I am constantly learning and see myself in my students. You cannot effectively instruct without first doing the work and analyzing how best to study and immerse oneself in it. Ultimately, I strive to be a great student of the digital arts to be an example to my students. Not only do I relate to them as a student, but I am a working artist as well and try to relate to them my experiences in the art world. When I share my work with them, I am an example of how they can talk about and share their work. Often, they will get to see first-hand my creative process and provide feedback and see how these critiques affect the outcome.<\/p>\n

                                I believe it is important to have a method when addressing the students\u2019 visual work. I always encourage them to question their pieces and process. They should be able to explain their work and what it means to them, how the piece relates to the assignment as well as to society any societal issues the piece may address, how others might interpret the piece differently, and how different contexts may affect their interpretations. I can provide them the knowledge of how their aesthetics often refer to other artists and even theorists. I encourage them to explore how affective the aesthetics are in relation to the purpose of the work. They need to analyze the concept and the aesthetics, how well they work separately and how they relate in conjunction with each other. The classroom environment, sharing their works, and talking about others\u2019 works is critical for the understanding of how a piece can be interpreted differently. By hearing how others view their work as well as seeing how their peers interpreted the assignment, students always gain further insight into their own work.<\/p>\n

                                Another way in which I encourage my students to step out of the student role beyond showing and discussing their work critically is by having my students write an artist statement. This helps them further expand their understanding of their own work as well as helps them practice writing about art and art theory. It forces them to see themselves as professional artists, not just students completing assignments, and helps them become invested in their work and the class.<\/p>\n

                                In the same way that I show my students that learning is more than just showing up for class, I make myself available to them outside of class hours. I offer convenient and flexible office hours for my students, I serve on committees that can further the experience, support, and resources of our students and University. I also am open to attending workshops, seminars, and peer to peer evaluations and discussions.<\/p>\n

                                I brought this philosophy to the Critical Play class. I purposely rewrote some of the class to address the College of Liberal Arts desire to work in a more interdisciplinary manner. The introduction of design, architecture, and 3D printing helps students explore the art in a conceptual manner as well as applied. I stayed true to many of the ideas of the class but feel by exploring architecture, to have them design future cities, the students are forced to think critically and explore the sociological aspects of art as well as take the tools they have learned and apply them to a large-scale project. Through the class, we also explore buildings around Reno and take architectural tours, which allow them to rethink the way they see everyday buildings and structures around them. It also addresses current societal concerns, such as global warming and how future cities will be affected by current issues.<\/p>\n

                                In summary, I have only touched upon a few of my ideas and my passion towards teaching. I want to be ever-evolving in order to match the constantly changing needs of the modern student. My teaching philosophy changes in reaction to each class that I teach, the feedback I receive, and the outcomes that I see. I am forever a student, not just of the arts, but of teaching. I love teaching, and I look forward to the opportunity to teach at your institution.<\/p>\n

                                COURSE DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                Using sound as a foundation and a jumping off point, with an emphasis on new media, this interdisciplinary course will explore technology and interactivity in sound, visual, physical and virtual formats. We will be using computer-programming language, primarily Pure Data and Max MSP, to create sound and visual projects.<\/p>\n

                                Course topics include sound theory, virtual reality, site-specific art, how new media relates to contemporary art, history of New Media, aesthetics of art and technology. Technical studies will begin with hands-on training in software tools like Pure Data, Max MSP, Audacity, Processing, Logic, GarageBand, Audacity, Iannix open source sequencer, Final Cut Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Students will then progress to integrating those tools with hardware devices including cell phones, laptops, analogue and digital synths, MIDI controllers, MP3 players, Arduino micro controllers and Raspberry Pi microprocessors.<\/p>\n

                                In order to gain information and inspiration from artists working in these areas, the course includes field trips to art exhibitions, studios, and working labs. There will be guest lectures by visiting artists working in new media.<\/p>\n

                                There will be at least two exhibitions of the students\u2019 work.<\/p>\n
