ARTIST STATEMENT
Only by harnessing our longing can we unshackle ourselves from what no longer nourishes us.
I make art to practice turning to the truth of my body. Through close readings of the body, I uncover strangeness and excavate a voice closer to the bone.
My art channels desire and sensation into form.
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. I make art to imagine beyond the dominant culture and to move into liberatory places that scare me.
Let the old structures shatter.
