Artist Statement

Neurodivergent(human)- thinking, listening, collaborating, trying…

I am a social practice artist working with re-socialization as a way of developing sustained ecological consciousness. That being the awareness and intention of interconnectivity of beings that influences decision making of the every-day.

My practice centers on shaping behaviors in an effort to embrace entanglement through facilitated social engagements such as gatherings, writing, gardening, and dog training. While humans still have a degree of centrality, through my social practice I am learning to begin and sustain different forms of relationships. Swirl around in a large bowl until everything combines losing its independence.
