Part of the sound installation "Convulsion Extinction"

MFA thesis exhibition in May 2005 at Tufts University in Medford, MA.

Convulsion Extinction is a sonic landscape of ominous low frequencies, small narrative paintings, and a thirteen-channel telephone booth that allows traumatic or unsettling experiences to be intimately heard. Located in a dim room with horizontally layered blue and green walls, Convulsion Extinction is an immersion into sonic and pictorial impressions of contemporary trauma and extinction, the trauma of colonialism/imperialism, and the connections between these. This installation contains visceral traces of both the appealing and deadly.
