I had an amazing time designing and building these acoustic harps for Andy's Gravity Harp project, which premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July, 2011. They're made of walnut with spruce soundboards, and sound like a cross between a Celtic harp and a Chinese Pipa.

Focusing on intimate aspects of silence and gesture, her work is often imbued with dreamy, lyrical overtones or comedic bits of absurdism that render her pieces at once surreal and profoundly personal. She lives and works in New York.
