As a performance of care, I turn toward the landscape, offering the tender and fragmented pieces of myself the freedom to dance. In communion with stone, wind, river, magic, and space, I reclaim my body from the systems and stories that have severed her from nature. I trust that whatever vital force emerges within me is a gossamer cord weaving me into the universal, moving consciousness. I share these discoveries through dance, social practice, experimental filmmaking, and collage.
