In my work, I look to make worlds where the body is important, where the body can be granted, and spatially, have the care to persevere through vulnerability. Tensions of civic imagination are at the architectural core of my recent pieces; I believe that to make the world a better place requires an act of Civic Imagination. I put real things--beautiful people, in real places--in tandem, and let them do their thing to generate a social situation that isn’t preoccupied with its own construction. In this outpour for others, value is reassigned. Bending, kneeling, skipping, these are small tasks and seemingly innocuous dance moves. But, there comes a moment when the tasks accumulate and they mean more than their parts. The results are powerful counter narratives of the Southern women’s bodies as capital, and my own value in reclaiming that narrative. My work is a rigorously crafted group experience that asks how far can we go together, in a world that feels like it's wrestling us apart.
