Art, for me, is a sacred practice. Ritual and ceremony—pillars of ancestral, religious and Indigenous traditions—are central to my site-specific work. They’ve taught me how to listen to the spirit of the land and carry ancestral wisdom into the body of my contemporary work.

I continue to bring this reverence into my performance and for creating exhibition installations, transforming them into living altars where I invite audiences to engage, receive, and build a container for art as a holistic spiritual experience. Rather than the typical art opening—anchored in alcohol, networking, and idle chatter—I create intentional spaces grounded in presence, breath, and true connection. It is my way of bringing the art of the sangha into the gallery, returning the entire gathering to ceremony.

I have performed with the Sunland Dancers at Pieter Space, Los Angeles during the nationwide celebration of Arthur Russell’s musical oeuvre, for the Hammer Museum’s “Made in L.A.” biennial curated by Michael Ned Holte, and in Melinda Ring’s Forgetful Snow at The Box, in LA.

Below are selected performance works: “Ubuntu”, a choreographed homage to Pina Bausch filmed at the beach; “Artists are Like Clouds,” part of Kairotic Festival, UCSB, CA a time-based performance festival; “Love is the Score”a four part art film where I choreographed 4 dance scores and music supervised the soundtrack; “A Death Ritual” performance at my art opening “In Praise of Shadows” where I processed out and laid down in my own grave and then used the site, for gallery patrons to receive meditation.
