鈥淭his work responds to my ever-present feelings of grief, despair, and fear around political collapse, social despondence, and the rapidly deteriorating climate. To combat panic, I find myself conjuring situations and images that allow for a transformation of mind, body, and spirit.
Many of my 鈥渟olutions鈥� rely on absurdism to bend our minds and consider different ways of living. It鈥檚 important to me that these solutions are makeshift鈥攖emporary bridges fashioned out of the resources at hand.
Studio experiments, performances, and drawings on paper and cloth are designed to help us think about different ways of living and approaching our intimate and societal relationships through care.鈥�
