Artist statement
As an artist I aspire
to marry the images
from the realm of
my imagination
with the words
that flock my mind,
often making
a spectacle of myself
as I occupy territories
where the personal
becomes political.
I revel in
questioning hierarchies,
queering traditions,
remixing reality into
something with meaning;
a vision of a world
I want to live in,
structured on
equity, empathy,
fairness and inclusion.
With a background
in live art and
visual communication,
I stage performance
through alternative media,
video, writing,
self-publishing,
collage and more,
as I seek to
amplify its reach.
I am a contradiction,
a fool, a failure,
wielding the power
of humour to critique
systems of power,
and to break down
barriers between people
by creating connections,
which ask us to reimagine
the ways in which
we love and respect
others and ourselves.
