ARTIST STATEMENT

As a contemporary dance and visual artist, my ongoing interests span experimental and often collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches. I create improvisational performances, site-specific events, visual installations and dance for film. My creative practice is informed by invaluable relationships with other artists and creative folks.  I offer audiences immersive artistic experiences because that is the essential way in which I grapple with inherent mysteries and ambiguities in life.  I am passionate about resilient and evolving ways to share and support art within my community.


My current creative research and practice embodies...
      ~the fluidity and uncertainty of the moment
         ~the visceral thrill of movement
            ~perceptual processes
               ~spontaneous and pre-determined composition
                  ~inhabiting the body and dwelling in environment
                     ~visual and kinetic experiences
                        ~what is subtle and detailed
                           ~what accumulates quietly over time
                              ~presence and absence
                                 ~what is seen as well as what is invisible to the eye but still palpable
                                    ~what we conceal and reveal as human beings
                                       ~the mutable nature of identity
                                          ~multiplicity of self
                                             ~the dynamic relationship between deeply felt inner landscapes and outer realms
