Biography

​  In art projects, I magnify how experience folds and refolds in on itself. Sometimes the activity is wordless play; other projects are participatory and span installation, sculpture, book projects and drawing. Themes include immediacy, presence and attention, and ways of exploring what and who is here.  I love learning by asking, and my questions are embodied in projects.                                                                                                                                                                      - H.
