Artist Statement:

Water is what fundamentally connects us to other bodies and worlds beyond our human selves. It is from a watery body that I draw my understanding of self. One’s body is personal, political, multigenerational, multiscaler. When creating art, I view the world through queer temporalities, thinking about how water extends one’s body in time and one’s existence to beyond the body, to a post-human world. The structures in which we live–such as language, law and society–create a symbolic world where we relate to one another and our environments, as self and other. Chinua Achebe said that art is our effort to create a different order of reality than what has been given. My art practice is rooted in re-engaging the semiotic, creating material liminal spaces for experiencing sensation.
