My writing work comes from the wild area between performance studies, environmental studies, art curatorial practice, critical theory, cultural studies, and archival remnant. I was raised rurally out in the sticks of East Texas. My relationship with the land is closest in the TX Hill Country, where I learned a tactile history of the earth on walks for fossils and arrowheads, and have been living for the past few years. I'm an active member of the Texas Master Naturalists, Hays County Chapter. I consider myself a Texan holdout on the cusp of a changing Earth. Water politics, tech buildout, and cultural shifts in the country are my new focus. 

I began my undergrad as a movement and performance artist at NYU's Experimental Theatre Wing, later receiving my BA and MA from NYU's Performance Studies Department. Though much of what I write currently focuses on environmental issues, artistic practice is a significant part of my life. I hone movement languages of my own, in addition to those of Gaga and Contact Improv. I make kaleidoscopic, biological, improvised spirit paintings with oil and found objects. My parents instilled in me a practice of film photography, and I shoot on mom's Pentax K1000, with dad's expired Lomo film. I have been making music since my teens - banjo, guitar. Theory is borne of these pursuits.
