Light Projection

I use digital projectors and other tools to cast images onto women's bodies. Projected lines follow every contour of the body, while projected images often resemble body paint.

A woman leans forward with one arm reaching upward, a dense web of red and blue veinlike light projected across her body and the surrounding space.

A close view of a crouched woman seen from the side, horizontal bands of light wrapping her body.

A woman holds a suspended chain, seen from behind, fine black-and-white stripes projected across her body against a saturated red backdrop.

A woman arches backward with her legs raised, a fiery, crackling pattern of orange and gold light covering her entire body against black.
