Mother of God, UC Irvine 2021
Building Your Own Table
My father is a woodworker. So is his father. His father’s father whittled tiny owls out of the Maine pine trees. Building is in my blood, but I’ve never been good at sitting still, so instead, I whittle my world.
Below is info about my recent work. I love building tables that elevate other artists, particularly other LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC artists. Sometimes I’m devising, sometimes producing, sometimes acting, but always building. If you want to grab a seat at the table, get in touch.
Two Twinks from New Jersey and the Search for a Meaningful Existence (2024, ongoing)
There are two teen twinks. They are in New Jersey. They meet on an internet chat room in 2008, and a strange friendship develops. “Is this person even real?” the twinks ask themselves, huddled in the warm blue light of a suburban family’s Dell computer. “Do they know how to get out of New Jersey and also how to stop being so weird?”
A collage of chat room transcripts, found sound, and 2008-era Tumblr memes, Two Twinks from New Jersey and the Search for a Meaningful Existence is a devised physical exploration of what it means to connect and find meaning in a superficially perfect world.
Kiss Your Darlings (2023 - 2024)
KISS YOUR DARLINGS is the cuttings from your living room floor. It’s the poems that didn’t make the book, the scene that got cut, the song left off the album. It’s an always changing, always flowing showcase of the pieces you love most, that no one else has ever seen. Your darlings. Bring them. We promise to give them lots of little kisses.
