I am often drawn to the in-between spaces, where tensions exist between opposites like Human and Non-Human, Male and Female, Mother and Whore, Loyalty and Betrayal, Repetition and Evolution, Wild and Domesticated, Contained and Explosive. The interplay of wildness, surprise, and uncertainty both excites and terrifies me, compelling me to explore the unspoken layers beneath the surface of our everyday lives.
I love to shift between different modes of expression. I relish the challenge of solving creative problems across diverse projects, and sometimes envision myself as a creative handy person who delves into an array of tools within an overstuffed van, always searching for what I can contribute.
Through a cross-disciplinary approach encompassing music, movement, performance, visual artmaking, tending, and medicine-making, I grapple with embracing an undefined life. In my work, I seek to unveil the magic, the peculiar, the profoundly beautiful, frightening, and unpredictable facets of existence in this moment, on this planet, in this body. My aspiration is to create art that invites others (and myself!) to shed inhibitions, dig deeper, acknowledge complexities, question assumptions, and perhaps emerge a touch wilder.
