Appt 73 attempts to juxtapose the history of this denigrated Saint with a contemporary understanding and, ultimately a ‘solution,’ to that which was her demise — a beard. Through the narrative and visuals the viewer is presented with an underlying reality of gender presentation vs. desire, which begs the question of why in fact is a solution sought?

Dwellings premiered as a public installation in Los Sures’ Sternberg (aka Lindsay) Park in June of 2014. A temporary living room was constructed using furniture collected from homes and streets throughout the neighborhood. At the center of this living room was a television, and on its screen the streets that border the Los Sures neighborhood. Passersby were invited to take a seat and listen as residents living within these borders shared what the word “home” means to them.
Dwellings was made in collaboration with Anne-Katrine and Chloe Zimmerman as part of the Uniondocs Collaborative Studio Residency in Brooklyn, New York.

Nelly's (2014) is a portrait of Nelly’s, family-owned flower shop in the Southside of Williamsburg.
Sandwiched between elevated tracks and congested streets, we watch as this tiny oasis brings the local population together in ritual, memory and celebration. Through customer portraits, candid interviews with the store’s owner Nelly, and cinéma vérité footage captured inside and outside the shop, this nontraditional documentary considers our varied relationship with plants and flowers and how these living things are used to redefine our ever-changing urban landscapes. As we watch the seasons turn, subtle changes are observed in the store and the surrounding neighborhood.
Made in collaboration with Danya Abt and Elizabeth Warren as part of the UnionDocs Collaborative Studio Fellowship in 2014.
