Artist Statement:
I have an interdisciplinary practice that includes sculpture, photography, and print work, but have recently experimented extensively with social sculpture as a medium in which I facilitate social performance/gatherings around or about an installation/place. These social events/happenings bring together wide-ranging modes of critique, prompting reflection on gender, political authority, and questions of transcendence in life/sustenance and death/grief. I often focus on the situation of groups or individuals that are from various reasons excluded, discriminated, silenced. I try to find alternative ways of expression for those who are not able to communicate and integrate in the standard way as a result of social, political, economical and ecological forces.
