AM PM EST (clip), 2018, performance video, 4 minutes and 35 seconds

A perpetual rotation of paranoia, an invasion of one's being. This internal agony is not only inevitable but involuntary. AM PM EST is a performance video that confronts notions of power and abduction. The video series is non-linear, created with a variation of different outcomes from multiple points of view; a reflection of hunt versus hunted / vise versa. It projects around the clock anxiety, staged mental delusions with the perception of always being watched, hiding under the unwanted gaze of other people.

How many times have you looked over your shoulder today?

Brown Hair, Brown Eyes, (clip), performance, 2019, 80 minutes

Monsters do not hide under your bed or in your closet. They aren't bleeding out of their eyeballs and drooling out of their mouths. Every day we let strangers into our apartment, hop in cars, send our kids to summer camp, etc. A nonlinear performance, Brown Hair, Brown Eyes is a psychological sequence of scenes that speak about predation, violence, the bought and sold, and the everyday female experience. Using two free-standing doors as a representation of space - dangerous or not. As well as symbolic of a shift in identity/persona. Some scenes are played multiple times, with different outcomes. In some scenes, nothing happened at all. Audience members were recognized and, at other times, disregarded. Kopenhavers investigations often ask viewers to choose to intercede or be vouyer. The consequences of their action or inaction are felt, as they would be in life, blurring the lines of reality.

In times of desperation, who are the onlookers who help, and who choose to ignore?
