ARTIST STATEMENT
Why do I practice art?
To practice liberation.
To imagine beyond the dominant culture.
To bring people together.
To listen better.
To honor the body.
I practice art as a queer feminist divorced mother. Through these identities, I understand the experience of simultaneously fighting liberation and fighting for it.
My practice weaves performance, activism, dance, curation, facilitation, theater, lawyering, visual art, installation, improvisation, co-leadership, and writing. Regardless of media or mode, I listen to sensation, movement, and desire.
I am an activist formalist. This means that I think about subject matter through form. This also means that I interrogate the basis of form.
My art and my activism are the same practice.
