About
As an intermedia artist and poet, I facilitate play- and process-based collaborations and create multimedia work that threads poetic narrative, performance and moving image. I explore horizons as sites of possibility and transformations: as threshold of embrace between earth and sky, as intimacy and a negotiation of boundary between bodies. A sunrise appears as light projected through shipping material. The sediment at the bottom of a coffee cup becomes a forest.
Inspired by Jill Johnston’s definition of intermedia, articulated as, “Re-integration. The everything as everything. The organism as totally illegal. The legality of nothing but pleasure,” I get intimate with everyday materials through commitment to DIY queer aesthetics. Resisting internalized perfectionism that hungers for polished and sanitized art products, residues of my process litter my works, highlighting the unfinished or deviant: a misread line, a poorly lit green screen, scuff marks, and eraser crumbs.
