About the Artist
In my practice, using fictional narratives I take my own experiences and transform them into surreal performances and sculptures, giving voice to those who cannot speak, giving life to inanimate objects. Disguised as a squirrel or a sea turtle, I am released from my human inhibitions and can devote myself to making people aware of non-human life forms, the worlds of animals and objects we live among, but often ignore. I love animals. I want to be apart of their world and them apart of ours.
In my most recent work I focus on Olivia the Sea Turtle. Dressed as Olivia I explore her narrative. After being cheated on by her wife, Arial the mermaid, Olivia has found herself on shore living among humans. She is desperately trying to fit in while at the same time trying to resolve her marriage. I am making artwork reflecting her story and on her idea of how human’s perceive sea life.
