Artist Statement
My artistic practice exists at the nexus of my relationship to the landscapes I inhabit and the rituals I have inherited.
A space that is tender and at times private, it is informed by the precarity of memory and produces a thread of intangibility. This manifests in invisible text, evocations translated and spoken in a language that is unreachable, and occasionally foregoing immediate forms of viewing.
Through performance, activations of the landscape, and employment of natural materials, I seek to connect with rituals and ancestry, engage in the act of home-making within a landscape, and ultimately assert and reclaim identity and space simultaneously.
