A significant focus of my work has been engaging weaponized drones (unmanned aerial vehicles/UAV’s) and the costs of drone warfare from a perspective of critical atonement. I question the use of these remote weapons and seek, as an American citizen, to call attention to and memorialize the invisible and forgotten victims of our remote, foreign incursions. In the works described I’ve engaged in projects ranging from individual acts of tactical remembrance to collective memorials which include processes of counting and naming the dead from America’s drone wars. The various projects purposefully incorporate ephemeral materials and processes such as paper, rubber stamps, GIFs, performance and computer games and perhaps most significantly to invite and involve others to participate, make and share in processes of intervention and critical reflection.
