All of my work is guided by a value of movement and the body as sites of generational know-how and intelligence. 

My upbringing in the Primitive Baptist church and the call and response of unaccompanied congregational singing lives in my memory as the sacred, embodied. This was the beginning of a lifelong interest in meditative practices.  I consider the performance of  repetition, endurance, and devotion as a way of knowing, of learning, and of being. As a result, I work slowly and experimentally in choreographic processes (or chaotically, with reflection!).

As an archivist and artist, I’m curious about the relationship between physical documentation, disappearance, and ephemerality. The function of beauty in objects and activities used for coping and the union of spirit, myth, and color reoccur within this research. As I’ve recently incorporated object making -  books and textiles - into my creative process, this means working with materials intentionally, considering their relational and somatic qualities, as well as their meaning for the histories and mythologies of the American South.
