Kat Hoban and I wanted to create a collective art party on our own terms, a safe space for the girlies and ally's to dance and celebrate our community of outsider artists. Our goal was to pay our friends and have fun, we are an all inclusive collective of sex workers, performers, queers, trans, bipoc and disabled creatives. The first show was held in what was called 2120 Port St. New Orleans, the abandoned go to party warehouse owned by Jaohn, it is now known as Material Institute. To pull it off we organized a fundraiser held at MusicBox Village, auctioning off works donated by our community so we could fund the materials and pay everyone. Still one of my proudest moments is paying my friends GOOD and basking in the party performances. Forever grateful for my number one collaborator and friend Kat Hoban for being my ride or die.

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 casts, and silver platters. Three vagina's bleed, dripping into the basin. You are to kneel on the red satin cushion placed before the piece.
Below are images of the works made by our collective, 2017 showcase.
