My work is grounded in ritual, rest, and ancestral-artistic pathways, as means for accessing our lost medicines, unraveling and dissolving trauma, and remembering our inherent, indigenous, decolonized knowing. 

​

Engaging intimacy and spaciousness, embodied listening and pulse, evolving repetition, and a continuum of language states, creates a gateway for me:

Invoking pre-identity universal information, intergenerational and collective memory, and the deeply personal, individualized experience, which is communally witnessed (and/or shared), held and transformed. 

​

This receptive-intuitive-somatic compositional process has also served as a visceral guiding system for my own healing process, as an artist recovering from chronic physiological trauma/stress disability conditions.

​

I land and root as I discover that which profoundly releases restricted, suppressed, and obstructed breath… That which recalibrates my own heartbeat… And that which allows me, in my black body, to reclaim my sovereignty, of my own voice and being, in a world that simultaneously seeks to both silence and exploit it.
