shivers

Curator, co-founder and artist. I wanted to create a collective art party on my own terms, a safe space for the girlies to dance and celebrate our community of outsider artists. I teamed up with Kat Hoban the other co-founder, to produced an all inclusive night of performers, dancers, queers, trans, bipoc and disabled creatives. The first show was held in what was called 2120 Port St. warehouse in New Orleans, now known as Material Institute. To pull it off we organized a fundraiser held at MusicBox Village, auctioning off works donated by our community. That funded the stipend for all artists. Still one of my most cherished moments is basking in the party performances for our one night only exhibition.

Blood Fountain, Shivers

Above images show my personal installation for the 2017 Creme De Le Femme, Fountain of Blood. Made with discarded wood molding, for the basin I welded trash sheet metal that hung from the wood wall, plaster vagina casts, and silver platters. Three vagina's bleed, dripping into the basin. You are to kneel on a red satin cushion placed before it and contemplate sacrifice.

Below are images of the works, 2017 showcase.
