My work explores the infrastructures of human experience, from relationships to socioeconomic systems, looking closely at labor, personal narrative and social history through an intersectional feminist lens. I work conceptually in a variety of media, including sculpture, video, images, text, sound, and performance.
My recent work explores the chasm between feminist theory and lived experience, exploring how, when and why feminist ideals remain unfulfilled in practice in contemporary American society.
