Artist Statement

My interests lie in the intertwining of the environment, the body, and the breath.

Playing with control and interruption through process-led practices, I create quiet, observant work spanning photography, moving image, textiles, objects and performance.

My current research involves sacred spaces, rituals, and healing qualities of the environment.
