My interdisciplinary practice focuses principally on performances and installations. Addressing environmental and socio-political concerns, current events affecting us regionally and globally, such as human rights, women’s rights, and climate change. I am seeking public participation and collaboration with artists of various disciplines. Projects are developed over years and informed by the audience’s responses. I make costumes and sculptures using drier’s lint, fabric, hangers, yarn, wax, wire. I use video, photography, sound, and social media as a medium. I present workshops that encourage upcycling and human interactions and conduct participatory walks to people anywhere in the world via Twitter. Walks, movement, dance, voice, text, and improvisations shape what I present to the public.
