Interested in sexuality, feminine identity, and the role of technology in American society, my drag influenced performance art comes together to explore the interplay between female/drag/pop culture and social systems that affect modern connected/constructed identity. Humor, pop songs, elaborate costumes and contemporary dance, are my tools in deconstructing stereotypical female representations. I expose, in my live performance and photography, the practice of representation itself, and challenge my audience to question its own attraction and repulsion.
