My love of performance art began in Fall 2021 in a class at Emerson College, taught by Mirta Tocci and Brian Cronin. I studied the works of artists from throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, becoming incredibly inspired by the works of Carolee Schneemann. I identify as a feminist and queer artist, my experiences both as a woman and queer person inform my life and work greatly.

I am constantly looking to explore different avenues of art including visual arts (sculpture, painting, collage), poetry, film, sound design, and music. All of these have informed and added to my performance work, which is also continually evolving and shifting.

In Development

I am currently developing two companion plays about contemporary masculinity and femininity. Both explore the impact of social media, gender-based violence (implicit and explicit), and the ever-growing divide between men and women as a result.

Previous Works

Raw (April 2022)

My largest scale piece to date, Raw was a live performance developed for the event Cradle to Grave, created by the artist Dante Cokinos. In developing this piece, I was drawn to the relationship between preparation/grooming and consumption of the female body. In the culminating performance, I prepared raw chicken as it would be for the purposes of cooking, then prepared my body the same way— by removing “inedible” bits (body hair), brining my skin with oil and salt, and beating my body with a meat tenderizer— and finally, rabidly consumed a cooked chicken.

Heavily inspired by the work of Carolee Schneemann, the piece was built upon my personal relationship to the female body, and was a means of reclaiming the vicious processes I myself have facilitated to emulate and experience femininity.
