I am a queer, trans, artist and performer from East Tennessee, based in New York City. I perform in plays, puppet shows, and collaboratively devised experimental works. I also make original art about ghosts, blood, grief, desire, Appalachian heritage, whiteness, and my body – and work in multiple mediums, including text, song, puppetry, soundscape, and movement. I’m currently developing my first full-length theatrical work, EXCAVATION, based in family oral history, and in a series of letters to my settler-colonizer ancestors. I'm simultaneously developing a shorter performance art piece, [before there was light], based in a series of poems about the crucifixion, queerness, desire, betrayal, and my adolescent romance with Jesus.
