In this performance in collaboration with the San Francisco Conservatory BluePrint ensemble, a faculty led student ensemble focusing on new music, I was the visual designer and lead puppeteer. The video below is a compilation of scenes from this shadow puppet performance that included found objects, puppets I fabricated, and one of my handmade puppet masks worn by one of the actors.
During my undergraduate degree, I collaborated on an independant project headed by a Masters in Social Work student, Amy Donovan. As part of her graduating thesis about homeless youth in San Francisco, she created a collaborative art installation. My involvement in this project was varied. I took slide photos in the Tenderloin neighborhood in San Francisco that would be later projected on the walls of the gallery, I created a sidewalk scene out of concrete slabs and a chain link fence with panhandling slogans written on the walls by the youth artists, and I helped to curate the photos for these youth took from their day-to-day lives in the heart of the city for the exhibit. The images to the right depict the postcard advertisement and my cover image shows items left behind at a youth shelter in San Francisco.
