Work

She has built two long-term found object installations, both titled Funny Farm, in her homes in Meaford, Ontario, and Berlin, Germany. Her aesthetic has been described as kitsch, while also being compared to self-organizing systems.

She has collaborated with New Media artist Norman White, notably on "Them Fuckin' Robots" (1988). Her partner is Canadian sound artist Gordon Monahan.
