Artist Statement
Since 2010 my art has been about processing my experience of giving birth to and raising children—both the emotional aspect of it and the social context in which my stories are situated. To create a space of shared reflection, I created a collective called Institute of Mothering Artists, IOMA. Here is an excerpt from the manifesto of IOMA: “We are writing a new definition of the word “mother” where the work of caring does not assume a body of a woman, hence we want to use “mother” as an action verb. To mother means to care for or to protect someone or something.” (an excerpt from the manifesto for Institute of Mothering Artists, 2018) My thoughts on “mothering” were inspired by the stance of women who were mothering in the margins. In a book “Revolutionary Mothering,” a collection of writings by radical and queer black feminists, the editors Alexis Pauline Gumbs and China Martens, define mothering as an act of caring, nurturing, affirming, and supporting life. For me, mothering is doing the reproductive labor with love and using this very act of caring for others to fight the injustice. It is transforming the society while being transformed by the act of caring. In my personal art making, I try to capture this metamorphosing process that takes place when we take care of one another. The spaces I create through drawing, printmaking and installation become a metaphoric place where the visual elements and logic recreate the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I’ve been a working artist, curator, community activist and teacher for more than 25 years, creating and producing intimate solo performances, large-scale public happenings, socially engaged interventions and performance art workshops and lectures. My practice extends across black boxes and white cubes, art fairs and subway stations, international festivals, and single bathroom stalls. I’ve operated an artist-run newsstand in a vacant subway station kiosk, a soup kitchen for artists, a breast milk tasting bar, and a performance festival hub for kids. I’m forever inspired by the rebel queers, renegade witches, and other dyke moms I run with, and bound to many brilliant artists, activists, spell-casters and healers. <span class="s1">For many years I made performances that drew from my own experiences of trauma and transformation, intimacy and motherhood. More recently, I’ve experienced a shift in my practice, where my attention has turned to wider theoretical questions about the nature of performance itself to </span>ask questions about when, where, how we perform - in theatres and galleries, on social media, and in our everyday lives.</p>
