the land sees me, always

Mixing textiles with performance,the land has always seen me, is an ongoing performance (started in 2024) that questions and examines how colonization and patriarchy have severed and stigmatized Queer-Femme identity from the land. The work actively creates space for unmasked Queer expression and joy by uing the Ghillie-Suit, a traditional Scottish camouflage-garment that is most commonly seen through militaristic uses. The work, instead of blending in, creates an "anti-camo" suit that dances along the coast of Bonavista, the artists current place of residence.

This project was graciously supported by the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council (ArtsNL) and Canada Council for the Arts (CCA)

Performance #1: Cape Bonavista, August 2024
