I aspire to keep learning what embodied logicality could be: what it has been across archival gaps and social ruptures, and how it is all around us even if incomplete, invisible, or silenced. I seek wisdom from ocean memory that persists in bodies, researching access to that which we don't know we forgot. My work is site-specific, object-specific, and situated - eliciting, sitting with, troubling and enlivening logical contradictions therein. I aim to encourage attention to functional logicality beyond the binary, normative definitions of "common sense." To fuse objects of war with places of worship. To locate liminal spaces and stay there, uncomfortably. To experiment with hybridizing traditions while actively worrying about appropriation and dilution. To listen beyond the Eurocentric modernity while hitting dead ends through its global dominance.
Presently I'm living in the lush green of Oregon, USA, on the colonized lands of the Kalapuya people, while teaching at Willamette University and at the Pacific Northwest College of the Arts.
