I work between costume, textile, and installation, using plant dyes, weaving, and reclaimed materials. Trained in costume design and as a performer, I think about cloth in relation to the body: how a piece feels to inhabit, how it moves, and how it changes the person inside it. At larger scale, that thinking becomes space: portals, chandeliers, and woven environments that people enter instead of just viewing.

Textiles are of great fascination as their ability to hold energetic imprints and be talismans of memory. As we crawl our way out of the dumpster fire of fast fashion and over consumerism, our relationship and awareness to textiles is essential for survival.

Transformation is a main theme I explore in my work, hoping to inspire rest, ease, and reflection on how we as individuals and society can compost non life sustaining patterns and the thoughts, energy, and practice that support change.

Indigo runs through much of my work as a symbol of transmutation. Watching a green textile transform into blue as it is exposed to oxygen is a visual symbol of the potential of personal and collective transformation.

Indigo also serves as a symbol of the complexity of existing in the reverberations of colonialism. Appreciating the beauty and magic of this pigment and the lineage of artisans, healers, and witches that have dedicated their lives to the practice while holding awareness to the shadow side of human exploitation associated with the pigment throughout history.
