Artist statement
Storyteller, culture worker, shape shifter …
A human being’s sole purpose is to live in harmony with the universe and all that the universe encompasses.
My work is the intersection of spirit, mind and body played out in a public setting.
Call & Response has been how the work begins. An issue, object or experience will pull me to it evoking some deeply rooted resonance that takes its shape and initiates an emerging process. My whole being responds and my body becomes apart of an articulated narrative - Drawing from the historical and the contemporary. My intention is to create a sacred space where all senses are activated : responsive, meditative, inspired - possibility and transformation realized.
