My practice is a conversation between land and the body, telling stories through grief, gratitude, and dreaming. Learning about and participating in grass-roots struggles for self-determination inform my work. Simple materials considered through location, history, and stored energy embody my philosophic aesthetic concerns.  Investigating unsettled spaces of resistance, resilience, and reconfiguration while negotiating the colonizing effects of anger, failure, and longing agitate my practice. Situated between the "East" and "West," between art and activism, between the physical and ephemeral, my work wrestles with the in-between.
