My degrees in creative practice are formulated around the different technological storytelling tools that convey information and can be manipulated or change over time. Traditional art forms, fabrication, film, events, workshops, are of many ways in which stories get translated. My work investigates narratives in the creative adaptation of Indigenous people and their relationship with the natural world by formulating futuristics artworks with distorted imagery and culturally significant symbolism.

Outside of my personal creative practice, I’m usually providing services to nonprofits, community collectives and events with a curating approach in Traditional Kinship Networks ( TKN ). TKN’s are identified pilers of support, traced back to Traditional Ecological knowledge and other frameworks of Indigenous methodology in the sciences, arts, land, and more. By inviting different specialties, identities and culture expression, production becomes more than an event but an interactive experience for all kinfolks.
