Artist Statement:
I use myself as a vessel of
abuse to provoke the viewer to
question what they have been
conditioned to believe on a
psychological level.
The body becomes the voice of
transcendental confrontations.
The dialouge is rebellious,
angry, territorial,
manipulative, sarcastic,
absurd, controlled,
speechless, invasive and out
of control. Within the
perimeter of the context, the
concept of crossing lines
evolve and the idea of
defaming is executed. The
process and endurance of pain
becomes the equation of
mastering displaced
independence through
separation.
I create
dance,choreography,performance,
video, photography,
installations, sculptures,
clothes and sounds to complete
these strange environments.
Everything is odd and surreal.
My influences are embedded in
the Bible, experimentations of
the self through alterations
and observations and analysis
of the human behavior in
controlled environments. The
writings of Aldous Huxley and
Sigmund Freud also prove to be
of significant inspiration.
