"I'm currently thinking through where my practice as an artist meets my work as an educator. I'm interested in whether making itself becomes a mode of teaching, or whether an individually developed practice must be reworked through relational praxis in order to become pedagogical.
Shaped by assimilatory experiences in education, my practice re-examines hidden curriculum and the structural constraints that continue to privilege dominant narratives within art and art education. My research continues through attention to stories of sense-making through play, embodied and kinesthetic learning, and ways of knowing that emerge through exploration, movement, and relation. |
