My practice is an aggregate of multiple cross-disciplinary, intersecting pursuits — activities that are located in subcultural contexts, and that often allude to subversive social codes. I am a martial arts practitioner, a professional dominatrix, and a fetish wrestler. These activities provide an entry point for developing artistic enquiries and often support the resulting artwork’s defining conceptual components and aesthetics.

Within these frameworks, I critically reflect on the body amidst constellations of power relations, gender and sexuality. Overlaps and comparisons can be observed in how a body negotiates the inferred codes, hierarchies and the literal and psychological habitats of these constellations. More specifically, my enquiries are orientated around examining how the subjectivity of my body — a female body — can be shaped and transgress as it navigates through codified spaces that simultaneously pose risk yet also potential emancipation. In order to better comprehend these dynamics, I developed the term: situationally appropriate and relationally transgressive. In this vein, I investigate how I can position myself in relation to the situationally-specific rules of each space in order to conform or transgress.
