My work is a direct response to the spaces I’ve inhabited as a mixed-Black woman whose “data” is often unreadable to strangers, and to all the ways I’ve ever felt collared as a daughter, wife, or mother.
I’m interested in exploring the normalcy and constancy of menace as they pertain to the feminine. I’m obsessed with power dynamics and the ways in which violence manifests within hierarchies of powerlessness, mostly because I can’t say that I’ve ever felt free in public space.
To that end, my plays are layered collages of the surreal and sacred nature of our human experience. I use my work to split open seams of expectation by offering flashes of the horror and wonder veiled by the status quo.
