My work is an ongoing exploration across media, ranges from performance, drawing, painting, and photography.
In my artistic practice, I contemplate about the role of materials, various media, the body, and performative elements in the process of mark making gestures. I am interested in expressing ideas about how the notion of identity, displacement, and memory are held in the body.
I develop performative methods that break down boundaries between various disciplines. Through Inter-media performative practice, I incorporate the body as a material, object, and subject. I utilize the camera as a tool to capture and record my studio and staged performances, as well as activating time, space and light with body movement.
I'm interested in the complexity of performative documentation, and the potential of both traditional and new advanced media in these representations.
