I am an interdisciplinary artist exploring relational aesthetics and personal comfort. My research is concerned with family and genetics, animal-human relationships, personal comfort and sanctuary, ritual, domestic curation, story-revision and re-construction. I am interested in the interplay and dynamics of social interaction and intimacy through verbal and non-verbal discourse, and deconstructing gender roles. My work explores the ways that individual and collective expectations, assumptions, discomforts and biases play in constructing complex interactions between intimates and strangers, and ultimately lead us to redefine ourselves.
