Much of my work is created in dialogue with landscape, shaped through a responsive movement practice developed over a decade of Butoh training and performance. I work by listening deeply to the body in relationship with the environment — a dynamic space shaped by personal and communal histories of violence, grief, power, surrender, growth, and repair. I draw on mythologies (both imagined and rooted in tradition) to explore these ideas. Finnish myths like the story of Aino from The Kalevala offer powerful narratives of refusal and transformation. Reading them through a queer, post-human lens inspires me to engage more deeply — through place, body, and dialogue with tradition and culture of my ancestry. 

Paintings are derived from both documentation of performance in place as well as the embodied experiences and 'images' that arose within the body.
