Artist Statement
Inspired by my skeptical interest in history and anthropology, my work deals with power and how it's manifested. My projects include books, films, performances, photographs, paintings, sculptures, and other imaginings often merged across genres and media. My projects tend to involve gender, the environment, technology, immigration, disability, fantasy as a coping mechanism, the absurdity of societal systems, nature's adaptability, and the layers to memory-making. I've been known to combine poetic, magical, and playful approaches to these themes.
