Americans like to think of themselves as the Federation, but guys look around. This is Ferenginar. We are Ferengi.

Every artist you know has a fucking reference both in their head and saved in books, objects, photo folders, etc. The sausage isn’t made like that and the experience of being able to take those references and make them into something that makes sense is kind of the whole thing, that’s communication

This Hope has a Sharp Edge, 2021 Hope blossoms in all of us, sometimes gently, sometimes boldly. This piece is about the overlay of anxiety that has walked hand in hand with hope these last few years.

These Teeth That Gnash, 2022 Some days it feels like the tension that i hold stretches beyond my form, pushing outward in wild, graceful arcs. My body feels so small to hold such large emotions inside of it.

The Things We Bury, 2023 What vibrant pieces of self do we bury throughout our lives, and how can we create meaningful connections with those dormant, tender places? What does it look like to gently coax new life into ourselves?

The moon, the lunatic, and the divine, 2018 For me, this piece is about mental health as a hero's journey, in a sense, where the hero must journey into the other world/nether world to learn something profound about themselves, the world, and life and then return.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
