Artist Statement
Born and raised on Potawatomi land in present-day Southeast Wisconsin, I draw on my departure from a devout religious community as a catalyst for a radical reexamination of faith, morality, and meaning; my practice is a continuation of this process. I employ glitch, digital imaging, video, and installation to transcode, decode, and encode issues of the modern world—spanning across society, politics, and the environment. Through this lens, I explore the complex intersections of spirituality, humanity, and the natural world.
