I am a trans, transmedia artist local to K’jipuktuk/Halifax and Tiohtià:ke/Montreal where I am pursuing an MFA in Fibres & Material Practices at Concordia University. My practice is grounded in collage, often using video, movement, wearables, and books. Through my work I investigate the kinship between body and the material/external world, making pieces that creature the queer body; breaking down the separation between body and space towards a third entity.  

I love making as a relational practice between people and I facilitate spaces where participants can collaborate and build community. My work is an invitation to share, build, and deepen our relationships whether they're within one’s own body/mind, or with other beings/spaces who live in this world with us. I root myself in the earnest and playful, seeking to spark curiosity and delight.
