By exploring admission & exclusion through the body & language, I want to enter a realm where the political, the historical & the personal are in collision with one another. I want to open up a future of possibilities & unravel stories that are not always visible while still acknowledging these exclusions as inextricable from violence. Yet, in spite of that, a story of survival can still be told. They reveal themselves in performances, installations & poetry.

My current body of work resides within the revival, reimagining & (re)inscription of tattoo languages, interweaving seemingly ancient patterns with the gaze from an outsider. I arrive at mythologies, historical narratives, oral histories & folklore in an attempt to repurpose languages, to question the power of perception & ,ultimately, to re-suture narratives.
