woven tapestry, multimedia installation, sculpture, short film


 


Using techniques such as the Pepper’s Ghost illusion, the work bridges ancient storytelling traditions with contemporary technology, inviting reflection on transformation, identity, and the fragile boundaries between pleasure and pain, beauty and the grotesque. 








Soft drapings, deep red and magenta lighting, and handcrafted fabric vines create a surreal space that echoes the emotional landscape of Last Call.






Light and sound installations created in collaboration with Bethany Yeap, Yinuo Chen, and Daniel Rosato. Documentation photography by Christina Mishell &  Kai Wasikowski

Filmed during a real life artist residency filmmaker Winnie Cheung taps into the ethos of DIY cinema, leveraging the gallery as the set and her cohort of artists as performers. Residency creates an immersive experience that mirrors the unattainable nature of memory. What if Warhol made a horror film about life at The Factory?







"resurrects the collective spirit that once defined New York City’s artistic ecosystem, yet the zombified venture spirals into derangement as the film shifts into the mode of funhouse horror"

Artforum

"RESIDENCY is part of the North American new wave of indie micro-budget genre features"

Variety



"a concise and concentrated evil diamond of a feature debut"

Rebecca Falvey

A man walks off a boat. He walks into a restaurant, orders albatross soup, takes a sip of the soup, pulls out a gun, and kills himself. So... why did he kill himself?

IN THE HABIT OF HIDING
Multi-channel experimental film
a messy meditation on deliberate self sabotage

Co-Director with Elena Vazintaris
Producer
Editor
As female artists, chasing the idea of perfection often stifles our ability to react instinctively. We make excuses and manipulate ourselves into believing that we’re not capable. We want to show how torturous it is to obsessively pursue the unbelievably high standards that we often set for ourselves.

Ciclope Silver Award winner  (“Weird Shxt” Category) and premiered
Sound of Silent Film Festival
Luminato Festival Toronto




“In the Habit of Hiding” is a moving portrait capturing the inner dialogue of self sabotage while simultaneously grappling with a collective anxiety over the state of the external world.  Overcoming the mundane to motivate oneself into existence feels like a slow, endless climb through a tub of molasses.
