Artist Statement

I am an interdisciplinary artist working across performance, video, sculpture, and installation. My work explores processes of change and transformation, envisioning otherworldly spaces of possibility through a queer and feminist lens. I draw on personal experiences that live below the conscious level – such as dreams, memories, and somatic responses – to explore themes of grief, vulnerability, fear, and desire.

In my most recent work, I create objects and experiences where traditional binaries are permeable: conscious and unconscious, alive and dead, internal and external. I am interested in the connections across all matter on micro and macro levels, and the ways these can encourage ways of being and experiencing the world outside the individualism of Western capitalism.
