'Lift and Oscillate' follows a series of handmade ceramic sculptures as they are manipulated with increasing complexity by disembodied, gloved hands. Through shifting choreography and experimental video techniques, the piece provokes questions about the motivations of the unidentified figures that handle the sculptures, their relationship to the objects and the purpose of these circular movements.

The accompanying original score utilizes recorded sounds from the sculptures themselves as well as more conventional instruments like guitar, flugelhorn, and synthesizers to build a resounding complement to the visuals.
