My art practice examines how social and linguistic constructs shape identity in the United States. Rooted in inquiry and collaboration, my work creates participatory spaces for testimony, fact-finding, and collective dialogue. Through interdisciplinary methods, I uncover overlooked histories and confront the enduring consequences of colonization, interrogating the legacies of race, class, and gender while imagining pathways toward collective healing and transformation.

I engage with suppressed histories through making as a form of listening—across time, place, and difference. This approach shaped Beyond the Whitewash (2023) at Living Arts of Tulsa, located on the site of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and the ancestral lands of the Osage, Cherokee, and Muscogee peoples. Over a year of collaboration, Black, Native, and white artists transformed the gallery into a living space of remembrance, truth-telling, and healing through visual art, sound, installation, video, poetry, prayer, meditation, and performance.

Informed by my experiences in Oklahoma, inherited histories, and today’s political landscape, What Is This? Between Fracture and Wonder explores questions of power, belonging, and how we navigate the space between disruption and connection. Rather than resolving tensions between the material and the spiritual, or the contradictions inherent in human experience, the collection holds space for their coexistence. The work invites viewers to consider how we might remain present amid uncertainty, holding grief and curiosity together in a world marked by disruption.

Similarly, Am I That Name? explores Queerness as a generative way of being. Rooted in Queer research and challenging binary frameworks, the series uses sculpture, sound, video, works on paper, and performance to explore identity as fluid, embodied, and continually becoming.

Across my practice, I seek to dismantle harmful narratives by creating spaces where identity is understood as relational and evolving. Through research, collaboration, and material exploration, I envision art as a catalyst for historical inquiry, collective memory, and transformative futures.
