I am a performance and visual artist. Enriched with ritual and theatricality, my artworks critically examine behaviors of power and have proposed questions on the global arms race, patriarchy as governance, life on another planet, and the dysfunctional union of art with capitalist commodity. My art is expressed through installation, performance, sculpture, and photography. Primary colors often function as bold, energetic conduits along-side architectural interventions in my installations that can function as the environments for my live art. A frequent collaborator, I am also a visible muse for many contemporary photographers and filmmakers. My artworks have been widely exhibited, including the Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston, Whitney Museum of American Art, Hammer Museum, Stedelijk Museum, and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca. Since 2013, I have been a visiting professor of art at the California Institute of Art and in the New Genres Art Department at UCLA. For more on my teaching approach, please read here.
I returned to study character acting in 2023 at the Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Los Angeles, CA. Presently, I am expanding my live artwork Orbit, that debuted at the Whitney Museum in 2017, into a TV program; and editing the forthcoming book RED
PAGES that covers material I recorded in my 2016 art work The Interview.
