Like a dream, my work conjures opulent visions, utopias, alternative dimensions and possibilities of what could be. Accused of obscenity, censored consistently, and criminalized as a sex worker, I delight in public erotics - generating bold remedies to uproot shame. My work grants permission to celebrate and inhabit ones innermost fantasies, an antidote to repression and sex-negativity.
Harnessing the power of vibrant color, love of technology, and magic of craft, my immersive multimedia art spans moving image, public art, interactive installations, and social practice. With Hot Bits Collective, I collaborate to produce opportunities to watch fantastic queer porn in public, gather, cruise, and present otherwise underrepresented art/film for all.
My art is for the sluts and the freaks within each of us.
