Artist Statement
"I analyze my environment from the perspectives of five sisters living together on the 29th farm. The women who live here are the physical presence of my work, and my body and my voice are the physical presence of these women. Moving from writing, to speaking, to performing, and painting, I document a journey of being lost and questions of ritual, sisterhood, and faith. Here, patience meets a childlike absurdity."
