This is the main character of my current video project.

Reading List (will be growing substantially).

To those that may be interested in what I am currently reading and researching:

Acting Out: Feminist Performances- Lynda Hart and Peggy Phelan
The Symptom of Beauty- Pacteau
Evictions: Art and Spatial Politics- Deutsche

My work tends to focus on pop-culture, suburban boredom, feminism, the body in space, pitfalls of urban living, internal struggle, identity, standards of beauty, irony and comedy so this kind of stuff is like candy to my brain (not really) but you get what I mean. Its helpful to my research.

Commodification and Video as a Medium

I don't want to put full video footage on line because as an artist working with video as (one of) my medium(s), I feel like it needs to be commodified and only seen where, and how I want it to be seen. Working with video as a medium already creates enough of a struggle for artists but, it's important that when we choose to go down that path we are aware of how we want this type of work presented, because youtube vs. a semi-public space (ie gallery) can make a huge difference in how the work is absorbed by viewers and can change the context completely.

That being said, I am working on a new video project.
