Artist Statement

Influenced by old Hollywood, the characters in my video performances live in twinkling worlds that are made up of thrifted materials, elaborately coiffed wigs, and simple fabric backgrounds. I exist to make and break eye contact with the camera, to dance like I know what I am doing, and to own Hollywood tropes, as if I invented them. These actions are influenced by my need to hyperbolize myself, and to give my negotiations with hyper femininity a private and absurd theater.

  OR

• repetitive behavior = self harm?

• struggle of living to please those who may not deserve it

• how much of me is actually me?

• how much of myself is left after the effects of heavy-handed, male influences are gone?

• it’s the mental illness, luv
