About The Telephone Project:
"TELEPHONE is just like the kids’ game. A message is whispered from one person to another and changes as it is passed. We whisper a message from art form to art form...We start assigning multiple artworks to a single artist. We ask each artist to find what the works have in common and to create a translation of that into their own art form. So — TELEPHONE begins with one message, passes that message through more than 900 artists from 72 countries and then concludes with a single artwork."

Personal Statement on the process:
"Translating this work was challenging, fun, and caused me to look outside of my artistic comfort zone. The pieces spoke to me in small phrases, sensations, and sounds. I analyzed both pieces separately, writing down these keywords, and sensations for each. Then I compared the lists, highlighting the similarities and differences between the pieces. Each time I did this, different elements of the pieces would strike me. From my findings, I wrote a story. Just as I experienced with my inspiration, my story evolved and changed continuously. But that’s how the game of telephone is intended to work, right?" Click the picture to watch the video
