ARTIST STATEMENT

I'm interested in the unique and contrasting qualities of human sensations, thoughts and experiences. My transdisciplinary digital and performance projects walk on sociopolitical pathways, often with surrealistic humour. I'm interested in art’s potential to dissolve shame and promote courageous positivity. I value kindness, collaboration, autonomy, rigour, persistence and transformation and support expanding inclusivity and compassion. My work has focused on the resilience and representation of queer people and others across dance, performance art, theatre, music, text, voice, and digital art.

​

My artworks are invitations to reflection on aspects of the human condition and our interconnectivity with each other and the universe. Resilience, resistance, playfulness, gender and transformation have been recurrent themes across my body of work. My studies of a wide range of Occidental and African contemporary and postmodern dance practices with master choreographers/teachers have significantly nourished my artistic practice and worldview. My academic research on the history of communication studies, gender, neurodiversity, propaganda, and sexuality also informs my research and digital projects. My body/mind is a space I continually update as a place of reflection, expression and intention.
