Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary artist who uses video, poetry, performance and publication to discuss topics ranging from artistic collaboration, feminist identity, poverty and power, and the environment. My work defies conventional boundaries, transforming art into immersive experiences that challenge and engage an audience.

I have a background in method acting, which brings a unique approach to my process and work. This background leads me to methodically dive into a variety of subjects, channeling emotions and experiences, and working to authentically portray them through performance, video, poetry and prose.

I conduct extensive research to delve into the lives and stories of my subjects, seeking a deep understanding that enables me to create art that not only showcases technical skills but also elicits a visceral response from the viewer.
