...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.
