Statement

I cite my mother, talented artist Anne Wu to be my point of greatest inspiration; along with my people, my place, and all that makes life as beautiful as it is. 

I believe that as an artist, through visionary imaging, I am a part of bringing positive change to the collective imagination. I aim to depict liberation for all

I delight in celebratory future-telling, gleeful breaking of rules, and radical sexual & gender self-determinism. I conjure portals to utopias, dreamscapes, remedies to uproot shame. (Potions to breathe beauty direct to your soul.)

An inter-disciplinary artist, I am currently most excited by immersive installation, new media, and deep collaboration. My work is interested in the lines between public/private, digital/physical, art/sex.

My art is for the sluts and the freaks within each of us.
