My creative practice and interests are varied and diverse. Mostly, I make work in private - a reflection of my inner perceptions and the ordering of histories and thoughts.  Sometimes I work collaboratively, from within a team or inside a larger process as a way of empowering others. Not engaging in the Spectacle has been a part of my practice for as long as I can remember and has defaulted into praxis. I remember thinking about artifacts and everyday life as a form or self-portraiture, visually documenting myself through the ways in which I “showed up” and performed myself. In my work I have told the stories of others and captured observations, allowing my voice to be represented in the effects of choice-making. My voice was represented in the form and structures of books or facilitation strategies I used in collaborative practice. Other times it was in the solitary action of fabric selection, pattern design, and repetition of a sewing needle and thread in a machine. In each of these cases there is something that is formed from what is unseen - unseen and yet observed.
