about:
- i am a social practice artist exploring contemporary consciousness at the intersection of technology, embodiment, and alternative ways of knowing.
- i create containers for collective remembering, sustained questioning, integration, weaving together body and mind, personal and political, human and earth.
- i call myself “the fickle writer” to celebrate a way of being that is ruled by transience and interstiality, an ontology that is unencumbered by discipline and labelling.
