Ethics

We live and move through places structured by violence in which it can be easy to be complacent and complicit, to blame ourselves and each other rather than grapple with the nuance and complexity of the big picture(s). My work strives to name that violence and to be accountable to those impacted by it within my reach … and to find the beautiful, ever-changing moments of co-created meaning and possibilities that emerge when we pay deep and engaged attention. I have learnt that one way in which hope can be practiced is in treating each other as if the world we need and deserve is already here, and in so doing, we bring that world into being.
