Statement
Through hand-made sets, costumes, installations, and digital manipulation; my work blurs the line between truth and obfuscation, calling into question the distinction between fantasy and reality. My work tends to center around my own body, and increasingly features others. Coming from a history of religious trauma, abuse, and chronic pain; I explore my relationship to my body and spiritual ideas with a sense of liberation. Influenced by fairy tales, mythology, drag performers, queer sex education, ecosexuality and esoteric imagery, my work offers narratives of healing that come from an increased connection with community and the cosmos.
