Welcome. This work is a home for me, a sanctuary where I find hope and solace in the people, places and partnerships I am apart of.

In my experience, the work to build or restore culture is formed and informed first and foremost by connection to place. I have learned that what is personal is also political, and community is the antidote to the epidemic of individualism.
 
Community must be formed by empowered individuals who need rites of passage and cultural belonging.

MY PHILOSOPHY

My work of record-keeping has served the generative narratives that reweave human beings in connection to themselves, place and each other.

 

This exists on the intimate level of family — working as a witness to the love, connection and preciousness of these foundational bonds. It exists on the collective level to chronicle the gatherings, movements, and initiatives that work toward providing antidotes to the overculture.
 

The perspectives I hold are informed by many teachers and ancestors, through literature and documentaries, and the rich lived experiences and travels that have expanded my soul. To witness and collaborate on crafting narratives toward a healed culture has shaped the human that I am today.

My own broken, re-forged, and inherent connection to place, is a strong tether rooted in artistic practice, a yearning for justice and wholeness.

These threads come together to form the basket for this work.
