Crying Choir, 2017 ( audio / video of girls’ choir )
The objects are tea tins fixed to the wall, sourced from Chinese-American mothers.  A mouth is roughly cut into them for a half-pulled out tissue, as in a tissue box.  Viewers are welcome to take as many tissues are they like—the tissues are replenished.  Behind the viewer is the sound of a crying choir, a women’s choir half-singing, half-fake-crying, notated strictly and spatially.  This is a portrait of my grandfather who drank tea and sang in a choir and taught me about classical music and calligraphy, who laughed and cried at the same time.

Bronze Breath, 2016 ( audio )
Audio walk at the Laurenskerk in Rotterdam that began like a typical tour—explaining the mechanisms of the tower clock and carillon, but gradually recounting purportedly shared, secret memories with the visitor, blurring the boundaries of remembered, historical, imaginary, and real physical space. While the visitors were in the drum room, Poulenc’s Les Chemins de L’amour, which featured earlier in the recording (sung by Jessye Norman), rings on the actual carillon, heard through the roof and the entire building, making present aural ghosts from the past, rendering the intimate most public, broadcasting across the city.
