Artist Statement
Bodies can be of the moment and guardians of the past. They contain highways of flowing information, unbeknownst to its inhabitant. A signal is sent, a choice is made and the body follows suit. Do societal pressures force us to ignore genuine triggers? I aim to probe the choices and instincts of the corporeal form, along with the labor of basing autonomy on societal roles. The connections between these expressions has helped me to create a concise, but layered physical language. It aims to answer many questions that I'm invested in exploring. The most important of all: Can one archive the phenomena of movement?
