My videos, photographs, performances, two-dimensional work, and installations explore complexity, commonality and contradiction in personal stories, historical narratives, social issues, and environmental concerns. I use my queer gaze to address issues of identity and to describe departures from traditional understandings that suggest new meanings. As I often work in in multiples and series to establish different understandings and shifts in perspective. My use of repetition is one way I try to destabilize commonly held beliefs and explore how traditional assumptions are shaped and revised. Revelations poke through the cracks of reexamination and re-telling, and concepts of identity are often center stage.
