I am a "Montreal"-based TME agender dyke, white settler, multidisciplinary visual artist, writer and cultural worker, once described as “pert” and “young” by Vaginal Davis.

My artistic and curatorial work has been featured in the Ignatz Award-winning and Lambda-nominated anthology We’re Still Here, Contemporary Verse 2, TheatreForum and Canadian Art, and presented at Articule Artist-Run Centre, Ada X, Centaur Theatre, Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre, the 2018 Sick Theories Conference, and at the 2016 Sexuality + Disability Summit alongside Loree Erickson.

My artwork tangles itself with graphic medicine and pathographics, speculative text-image relations, care, immunity, and access intimacies. Agender, immunocompromised, and chronically ill with an invisibilized disability, I’m interested in using bodily forms and processes in my work to explore the interior experience of being in a body as a fundamentally unknowable, inarticulable position.

On the level of process, I really enjoy materiality and material processes as a playground in my work, and my curiosity is often grounded by questions about slipperiness, stickiness, permeability, squishiness, and scratching, palpating, breathing, bursting, stretching, squeezing, and bouncing.
