“ How your heart beats as you write. How it should beat. You must feel it you know. You must feel it and experience it as something which transforms you. I always feel it, with each paragraph I write. I have to be at a new threshold.”

Rooted in the expansive understanding of relationship between the physical, the material, and the image, my work calls into question what it means to be whole. Self is often narrowly defined by the physical boundaries between our bodies and the world. Our bodies often being viewed as the singular home of the spirit.
I am interested in practice as a means of pushing past what we perceive as boundaries of selfhood, aligning with theories of deep ecology, and understanding how these intentions shift the systems we navigate.
