Her focal work is concentrating through intricate and intuitive forms, dissolving time, acute pitch infusions, and shape-shifting stringed instruments into differing resonating bodies by the relationships and ratios in which they are tuned. She is absorbed in radical acoustics and the placement (or displacement) in which a performer sits inside {a body} and its environment.
