My art career often feels less like an art career and more like a career in educating, usually by using my body.

I have been and continue to be committed to art as a tool to ignite, comfort, and discomfort.

I recently did a reading at an elementary school in Ottawa, and one of the children asked me if I was a girl. I said yes. Another child commented that I had a deep voice. I responded: "Can girls have deep voices?" There was a pause and then the group responded, "Yes!"

In my thirties, I have felt a greater urgency to make art that highlights what it feels like to be racialized, likely due to living in a country that obscures our racism with the idea of "multiculturalism."

As a brown artist, I have mixed feelings about my relationship to art and my "responsibilities" post-Trump.

I have always considered the aesthetic of a project, including press photos, as a means to further the message of the art itself.
