I make objects and costumes for time-based projects to explore how images, gestures, materials, and the spoken word carry traces across time. I return to retold stories and generational memory as contested ground, recognizing that what is remembered, archived, or discarded is shaped by systems of power. Mining what came before becomes a speculative act and a way to care for what may follow. I approach all my work at contemporaneous: each piece exists alongside the others, its fragments liable to resurface elsewhere - just as everyone who has ever lived, or will live during my lifetime is my contemporary (an expansive definition, sure, but much more interesting).
