My work is an exploration of identity and an investigation into how socio-cultural categories such as race and gender are informed by popular culture. I highlight the oversimplified portrayal of women in pop culture using music videos as a vehicle to explore gender roles and sexism. Cultural critique is employed not only to highlight the power dynamics between different groups, but to disassemble them and reconfigure them again in my image of how the world could be. My interest in relations between people leads me to an awareness of the body and how gesture creates meaning through performance.

In much of my work in the last few years, I've explored representations of identity in mass culture. I've examined my own identity at the same time illuminating cultural stereotypes and prejudices through the embodiment of different roles and characters while also exploring the formal aspects and properties of HD and analog video.
