Artist StatementI am a trans-disciplinary artist collaborating with somatic and ancestral knowledge to make performance work. I am in dialogue with both hyper-sensorial and dissociative dysphorias that pressurize interior spaces of feeling and being. I work in service to them by attentively giving form for these experiences to live and communicate autonomously from the visible performing body. Forms take shape as physical actions, sound scores, and objects, and manifest as durational performance, experimental films, and writing.  Oriented towards healing actions, I integrate sick time into my collaborations and ensemble work, to materialize ways that sensation, distortion, and pain become liberatory and communicable forces. Learning through a queered lens and influenced by disability, performance making is a place for my questions to transform into collective action.
“Can I resist becoming hard as my external environment becomes more extreme?”
I ask, concerned with the ways love and violence intertwine, and to propose, a commitment to unknown places where interiority is both ecstatic and true.
