Fiber
Fiber art practice began as a child, but more importantly when on tour as a performer, I bought some yarn to make a garment for myself. This initial idea grew into what was for many years an extension of my personal expression — garments, accessories, and home decor.
Now, I find myself in love and curious about the fiber itself, dyeing techniques, and the incredible textures of nature's bounty.
Sculpture
Sculpture began for me in my childhood, having the opportunity to practice with and be mentored by local artists whose studio was adjacent to the ballet school. This expression continued to develop mostly as a side practice, while I pursued a life as a performing artist.
Now central to my expression, I have moved from clay to plaster and multi-media. I am interested in how sculpture can form in space, how space impacts our experience of the visual, and I seek to make work that has volume, movement, and texture. I have not strayed far from the dance.
Performance
Performance was my core expression for the early years. My installation work continues to crave time-based experiences as an essential element, giving the viewer a chance to live with the work as an expression in time.
Film
Film has from the start been a consistent part of the iterative process of works that begin as performance or sculpture, but remain timeless in being captured on film. I also create work that begins as film and then becomes an installation experience.
