In making art I attempt to compose an experience that shows the viewer psychological and physical distress corporally. It is through this that one can perceive the content, not just observe it. Though often based on my personal body as an archive my art is not there to reflect myself. It is there to propagate the affect formed by the viewer. My artworks are not truly created in the objects and performances I make, but rather it is formed in the moment it reaches the viewer. That reaction is where my artwork exists, never in the piece itself. 

My work focuses on the history of mistreatment within various system of otherization including self-created systems. Through performance and social experimentation I wish to examine the magical belief systems created in attempts to fix the other. Furthermore, I wish to perform the archives of these histories giving them physical representation as a form of evidence. It is through an accounting of these actions that we can begin to ask: what actions are we taking today that tomorrow will be seen as maltreatment?
