Note:

A collaboration with choreographer Troy Schumacher and artist David Salle, All That We See was inspired by several excerpted images of a larger painting by David that I never saw in its entirety. I mapped each excerpted image to a short movement of the piece to create a musical mosaic. It was interesting to translate proportion and form from David's shattered images into music and dance, from a two-dimensional medium to a temporal one.
