I am an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores cognitive and geographical landscapes, identity, gender, and the objects of subjectivity in relation to a theatrical society. I employ video, performance, and installation to linguistically explore these tropes while using the grammar of a self-proclaimed “imagined situationalism.” My interest in relational art, communications, the media, displacement, and challenging semantics is an integral part of my practice.
“Paradoxical sleep is the edge of sleep where one does not really sleep, but where one dreams.” —Jean Baudrillard, quoted in Hatred of Capitalism: A Semiotext(e) Reader by Chris Kraus, Los Angeles: Semiotext(e), 2001
