RESEARCH INTERESTS

Research interests include drawing, painting, installation involving experimental video, and digital photography- more specifically, the fusing of these media, such as painting on a digital pigment print, video from a still image, and interactive installation with video footage. My creative works deal with cultural displacement and identity, and to social psychological and cross-cultural studies heavily influenced by a global nomadic culture.
