A fever dream of illness and recovery combining stop motion animation and live action in a doll’s house. A woman arrives ahead of her family at a rented house, describing the ideal life they will build together. What happens does not reflect her homemaker vision. Instead, the house and its contents confront her body as external expressions of her struggle to survive.

A truncated woman thrusts awkwardly from a school-desk, motionless except for her spinning, shaking mouth. The novice must rehearse the lesson dictated by an unseen voice. She must sacrifice unbounded desire, press it into language, into discipline, into rule. Her body refuses the lesson but remains trapped by its rote.

An interactive stationary VR experience that invites quiet reflection on nature, slowness, and change. It offers a moment to sit, observe, and influence the atmosphere in a peaceful, dreamlike virtual world. The experience places the audience on a hilltop, looking across at a lone tree gently swaying in the breeze on another hill. The audience can move their hands gently to influence the wind. The seasons cycle over the course of ten minutes, the visual and audio aesthetics shifting with the changes. The piece emerged from thinking about how nature changes quietly around us, often unnoticed. We invite the audience to consider how small gestures and moments connect us to the world’s larger cycles, and how ephemeral and fragile those cycles are.
