What Blooms in Moonlight? is a live performance painting and sound-immersive event that explores ephemeral and impermanence and invites presence through this.

Through spontaneous mark-making, music, and shared time, the performance becomes a meditation on the unfolding moment.

This is a short video of many snippets stitched together from the What blooms in moonlight event at The Studio in Troy in December 2023.
I was so honored to collaborate with Connor Armbruster (electric violin) and Sam Torres (saxophone and electronics).

The footage is blurry, but I wanted to capture the moment. xo~
