A Somaesthetic Approach
Artist Statement
Allow, receive, perceive, express, repeat. My practice as an artist includes daily meditation, movement, reading, writing, and making marks. These collective actions bring me into communion with myself, others, and the environment. For me, communion is optimum engagement. Here's how my engagement happens: 1) I allow myself to be present, 2) receive new stimuli, 3) perceive what is unfolding inside and out, 4) express a response. This process helps me discover meaning or insights about internal mysteries, external vistas, or non-discursive connections. I express communion somatically, semiotically, and semantically through movement art, visual art, and writing. I create art in order to deepen my relationship with myself, with others, and the world around me.
