As an interdisciplinary artist, I take on an open, intuitive perspective towards embodying how creative approaches can facilitate responsive change within our daily encounters.
Taking from my experiences as a soft spoken mix-raced woman, I seek to aspire how visual design, movement, spatial engagement, and creative acts of care can re-imagine relationships we have with our bodies, subjective stories, and in forming intercultural connections. Through my ongoing inquiry of what it means to be located in the dynamic blur of cultural and geographic displacement, I often find myself engaging in processes of re-connecting with my ancestral traces of Chinese, Acadian, and misconnected Indigenous roots, and in how this can lead towards making space for embodied learning and alternate community-based exchanges to occur.
By engaging in experimental processes, I interweave between different disciplines to learn from, contemplate, and create practices of well-being. This can take presence through somatic movement, graphic design, layered drawings, mediated visuals, found materials, water, sites, installations, geographical forms, video, soundscapes, textual outbursts, and in collaborative interactions.
I carry much gratitude for continuing to grow and learn on the unceded ancestral lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples (north / vancouver).
