[2] She draws from, and contributes to, a long history of cinematic innovation, and through her subjects—whether investigating cryogenics, 17th century agrarian England,[3] the American Revolutionary War, modernist architecture, or the sensory experience of walking in outer space—she questions what it is that makes us human and the ways we seek to alter and escape that designation.
[4] Among her recent projects are Enclosure (2019), jointly commissioned by the Park Avenue Armory in New York and LUMA Foundation in Arles, Wil-o-Wisp (2018), jointly commissioned and owned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo; Everything and More (2015), presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and Palisades (2015), at the Serpentine Galleries in London in 2014.
[10] Her experiential pieces work to convey sensorial aspects of ideas by manipulating sound and image.
[13] These have included death, cryogenics, and zoos for Sitting Feeding Sleeping (2013);[14] notions of time expressed through geology, and human history for Palisades in Palisades (2014);[15] the legacy of Modernism and ecological devastation as encapsulated by Philip Johnson's Glass House in A Minute Ago (2014);[16] the concept of mortality through the “out-of-body experience” of an astronaut in Everything and More (2015);[17] themes of abandonment and separation as a dominant narrative in early children's stories in Lake Valley (2016);[18] women's shifting role within society and their relations to magic on the threshold of the Industrial Revolution in Wil o Wisp (2018);[19] and the catastrophic psycho-social and ecological disturbances triggered by the advent of capitalism and industrialization in Enclosure (2019).
