Statement
As an artist and a poet, I adhere to a nonphilosophy of play, an experiment of self-making that invites intimacy through immersive states where the self may dissolve. Inspired by my experience in a trans body, I use my body as conduit across media, transforming ideas through form to reveal unexpected meaning. My projects contain many iterations, including video, performance and poetry, that culminate as bodies of work. Because form--like a body--has its own expectations and constraints, I search for the edge of limitation and break things open to redefine what’s possible. In my process, I create a container that enables play and extends a hand to others to become co-witnesses and participants.
