ANNA MAYER’s practice is sculptural and social, with an emphasis on hand-built ceramics. Her methodology emerges from enacting formative site-specific projects in Southern California and her interest in the relationship between speech and consciousness. She is an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Houston.

ALISON O’DANIEL is a filmmaker and visual artist exploring sound, acoustics, access, and complex embodiment. Informed by her experiences of being hard of hearing and her collaborations with other Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing composers, athletes, musicians, and performers, she explores new ways to navigate, deconstruct, and reimagine the aural world. O’Daniel and Kim have collaborated twice previously: Christine made a score for O’Daniel’s in-progress film The Tuba Thieves (2013– ongoing), and O’Daniel wrote captions for Kim’s project Closed Readings.
