Artist Statement
I believe in people. I believe we are complex beings with individual collections of filters, accumulated from societal structures and norms, through which we experience the world. My art practice is rooted in my own journey of unlearning and bias. I’ve seen what imposed fear does to individuals and communities, and I’ve experienced how fear and pain can be transformed instead of being transmitted. My response is to create installations/stages to provoke awareness around how we interact with ourselves, with others and with our context - works that speaks to the simple complexity of being human, of gathering around food, to have a moment to just be an authentic self. Would you sit down have a conversation with someone you never met before? Would you share a meal with them? Simply put - I think people should meet - meet others and themselves.
