I am creating a cult of worship, collecting together entranced mystics and martyred saints of medieval times, contemporary proto-feminist performance artists, and women poets of the punk rock era--all of whom sought transcendent yet very physical states of being, whether through music, artistic creation, or religious/erotic ecstasy. Like any good cult, this one revolves around idolatrous objects, images, and texts, which are placed in shrine-like visual poems within a space. I use many different materials and forms in this work, including drawings, sculptures, photos, performances, texts, and videos.
