current projects

Atopia is a project exploring images of specific spaces, real and imagined- vast and constrained, and bringing a shadow of those spaces into the finished work. Performed by Deborah Black, Rebecca Lloyd-Jones and Sasha Welsh, with music by J Why and video by Kerrie Welsh. (Pictured above)

An excerpt ofAtopia in progress is on YouTube performed with Robbie Cook and Alison D'Amato.

Trace Decay is an experimental collaboration with my sister, video artist Kerrie Welsh. Exploring found footage from the 1940's with dancers Laurie Berg, Cindy Chung Camins and Cynthia St. Clair, we are investigating processes of memory (both cultural and personal), and the experience of the passage of time.
