I believe in maximum political freedom matched with socialism. I’m vociferously against religious dogma, but am pro-spirit in a quasi-buddhist, existentialist phenomenological  way.

I suppose I'm an iconoclastic queer, if a label be absolutely necessary.

Somehow it all makes sense to me, in some bizarre non-essentialist, non-foundationalist and non-determinist philosophical chaos-theory way which eschews ideas of stable individuals, an utopian world, or an absolutist, supervening ‘meaning of life’. Rather, I believe we’re all here on a journey.

I’m fascinated with narratives, bodies, identities and sex/gender/sexuality, which is where I ply my trade as artist, healer and oracle in the interstices between creativity & logic, society & psyche, art & culture.

In these oddly shaped corners and unexplored spaces I search out peace, beauty and the simple joy of being present, in all its contorted forms.

Which remains elusive given that perhaps I’m not really here. Or maybe the world around me isn’t...
