My work focuses on personal experiences in navigating through social, political and cultural issues that inform my place as a coloured woman. It explores different states of an identity, as well as what contributes to its formation within specific periods of time.

Each work seeks to question ideas around domesticity, patriarchy, representation and documents moments of tension, frustration and intimacy.

​

The subject matter of each body of work has shifted from an obvious use of text as portraits to text as narration or soundscapes in creating an imagined visual form. Each work has also shifted from physical forms of art to performative forms of art. Each performance piece is linked through very simplistic gestures in order to speak to various complex ideas. My interest lies within narrations ability to create imagined spaces. I use narration or storytelling as a way to document the process and/or importance of the mundane to situate a particular kind of womanhood and identity – a kind of repetition that informs a constant state of becoming.
