Vulnerable Embodied Performance Art / AnthropoScenes
In public spaces.

Why?
The casual violence of our dominant culture is systemic, structural, and we learn to tolerate it pre-verbally. 
So, in my art (and life), I explore purposeful, visceral vulnerability.

Extinction Symbol: created to help raise awareness of
the current and ongoing, man-made mass extinction crisis.

• To "be the change"
• A cultural antidote
• To share / express / create space for vulnerability and pain
• To draw the parallel between vulnerable souls / vulnerable bodies / vulnerable planet
• To stand in some solidarity with those who are most vulnerable
• Allowing vulnerability improves communication
• To hold ourselves in some accountability for the atrocities our culture perpetrates and perpetuates
