Artist Statement:

Through an anarchist act of reflection my work starts with embodying the United States political system through a mirror world of intersectional feminism. Taking the hybridized form of athletics, dance, product design, new media and installation, I seek to reveal conspiracy and subvert systems that we are legally bound to follow, but ethically unable to support. Dependent upon subjective perspectives for personal truths, through my practice I question what is reality in a political system that lies and how do we occupy that space?
