...in order to rediscover ourselves we have to lose
ourselves and in order to not be swallowed up by reality
we have to find the right key to its interpretation 1
in my practice i reference feminine archetypes found in fairytales, pop culture, and love ballads. through photography, video, performance, and ongoing investigation, i manipulate the ritual standards of desire, fantasy, and consumption.
interested in where claims of truth intersect with the demands of fiction, i have played the maiden, the bride, the author of reclaimed stories.
these experimental theaters of memory have progressed into a journey that has layers of being lost. it is a fiction. as i wander in making and looking, i wonder about my personal narrative and how much of it is showing.
