Disintegration Aesthetics (2024)
An installation, a solo cello performance, and a suite of ensemble pieces, Disintegration Aesthetics is a transmedia project that rethinks the margins of sensory dysfunction as a site of composition and situated improvisation. Drawing on personal experiences of living with Sensory Integration Disorder, Disintegration Aesthetics explores the generative relational potential of the repetitive gestures known as ‘stims’ in neurodivergent communitites.
