Nuptial Blitz
Sitting on a couch in Portland, OR I flipped through my brother’s wedding album, fascinated by the story being told through these images, clearly directed by the photographer.

Naked Dances from my Basement
What do you need to shed to feel free? During the pandemic, undressing became a near-daily solo artistic practice for me. In this performance, I’ll share some of my findings through peeling/shedding/stripping away. You can contribute by donating clothing you’d like to discard (a sweater from an ex, leggings that don’t fit post-pandemic, a t-shirt from that job you quit). I’ll costume myself from your cast-offs and all clothing will…
