soft and gold with pins (2024)
My work on felt and paper translates sensation into image.
An extension of my movement practice, my visual art explores feminist and queer conundrums of agency, desire, and visibility.
These works also serve as scores for performance.

Felt is soft. It asks to be touched. It is dense in color and texture.
Sensation becomes form that folds and twists.
Spaces inside the body offer up threads and gestures.
