Artist Statement
In this impossibly overwhelming world, we need the reason to stop and consider our role within it. In our daily lives, there are so many distractions that cause us to become dissociated with our surroundings that performance art can be a critical tool to re-connect us and bring us into an awareness of life’s significant parts.
Artist Bio
My artistic practice intends to create moments of pause so that audience-members may take time to contemplate their environment. Often occurring in public space, I work within a performative frame, but blend modes of fashion design, architecture, sculpture, installation, and craft.
I am the recipient of a NYFA Fellowship in Performance Art and numerous awards, including my earliest grant from Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art, and later from The Foundation for Contemporary Performance Art, New York State Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. I have also been awarded artist’s residencies at Guapamacataro hacienda, Yaddo, and Weir Farm Trust. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Williams College and a Master of Arts at the Gallatin School of New York University.
