About the Artist

I am a multi-media artist with a primary focus on film and photography. In my works I aim to explore the interaction between the meta and micro, systems and the personal. I am  specifically interested in full representations of marginalized people, people whose existence is represented in tropes or simplifications, or whose existence is rarely acknowledged or represented at all. I aim to create work that can be analyzed on a multiplicity of levels. I seek to find the intersections of dualities, creating work that is both critical and kind, heavy and humorous, and  acknowledges what is while still daring to imagine what should be.

 

Ultimately,  I believe in the ability of art to liberate, to make both those who create work and engage with such work to understand and feel understood. I believe in  the power of story-telling to connect people and ideas, to inspire critical independent thought, and to push culture forward. With this being said,  I create for empathy. I create for liberation. Acknowledging beauty and the ugly too.
