Under constantly increasing pressure, humans fracture into necessary reconnections to survive. The constant wounding of chronic precarity forces us into compliance with ways of life that sustain the logic of profit over wellbeing, entrenching neutral pathways with habits that degrade our connections to our bodies, each other, and the planet that sustains us. I describe the healing that eats these fragments as Worm Thought, a community-oriented hedonism inspired by the reciprocity of creatures in the soil. When worms tunnel, they leave channels in the soil through which it's easier for mycelium and roots to grow. What grows through the channels I leave?
   I create soft sculptures, poetry, photography, and installations that incorporate scraps of vulnerability and whatever else I can get my hands on. Advocating for emotional and nonhuman rationalities by evoking invertebrates, rocks, and the working class. I'm interested in the ways in which our perceptions and beliefs can mislead us and cause us to fail ourselves and each other.

​

TLDR;
I make hard things soft and soft things hard.
