PRACTICE STATEMENT
My art is a decolonizing practice for multiplicity as a paradigm for convergence, intersection and relationship. With the weavings of diverse fields, I see the body as a site for experience. My work centers on understanding experience and communicating wisdom through aesthetics. My mediums span multiple modalities such as performance, movement, writing, visual art, sound and ritual. With these modalities, my art facilitates an embodied awareness of the personal relationship to collective consciousness. I am informed by the spiritual realm streaming into channels of philosophical, political and psychological dimensions of existence.
