As a child my list of future occupations were fairy, potion maker, geologist and set designer. Although I studied in visual arts and communication those initial interests are an ever present filter on my lens. I became enmeshed in Seattle’s cultural landscape as a founding member of LOVECITYLOVE, a DIY arts collective praised for its unparalleled diversity, now recognized by the city as a cultural landmark. There I produced exhibitions and activations in partnership with the wider community. I am currently exploring the alchemy of disciplines and mediums; the collapsing of categories; the intersections of modalities via still image, motion, sound, durational performance, ceramic sculpture, printmaking, natural building, permaculture, systems thinking and collective healing. My work/play is a practice in externalizing internal queries about phenomenology and human constructs such as value, ownership, authorship, identity, time, performativity, language, labor. I feel most compelled towards the union of opposites and the notion of the emergent third. At present I am drawn towards pattern literacy and narrative intelligence as it pertains to the ecosystem and the egosystem. My perpetual passions trace back to the life/death/life cycle and the mysterious wild feminine. For the past 7 years I’ve been collating research and engaging in experiments related to community living, land stewardship and collective governance with the intent of establishing a space for friends and family to take refuge and develop the resilience needed to transmute our future hardships into potential future flourishing.
