Sound Art
Sonic works that listen to landscapes, borders, and living ecologies — sound as witness, as bridge, and as art.
US/Mexico Triptych
The US/Mexico Triptych is a series of three sound art and video works that listen to the border between the United States and Mexico. Parting Waters: Rio Grande Sonics (2010) captures sounds recorded beneath the Rio Grande River in Texas — a known immigrant crossing point — with Mexico on the left bank and the United States on the right. Border Spirits (2010) uses a contact microphone attached to the iron barrier fence in Nogales, Arizona, picking up both the resonance of the wall and the sounds of Mexico beyond it. Mal Aigre (2014) focuses on the San Diego wall where it extends into the Pacific Ocean — its title drawn from the Mexican folk illness "mal aire," or evil air, linking the physical barrier to the cultural landscape it divides.
