Abstract
Community action and land restoration are central to my practice, and learning from
teachers across cultures guides me in discerning where I can best be of service. I use local plant
and animal materials to honor Place and ancestral skills, while exploring themes of social justice
and healing. I work with repurposed antique materials and reflective elements to illustrate our
entangled connection to the past and future in the present. I use double-edged humor to
knock-loose heavy psychic material while reminding us not to take things too seriously. Through Sanctuary, an immersive installation, and Power Tools, a set of ritual objects
designed to empower the oppressed, I invite viewers to reflect on healing relationships with
ourselves, our communities, and the world around us.
