Utilizing the language, fashioning, and tradition of the trickster deity In his work, he engages in relationships across species and land to develop true kinship. He creates sites of ritual and ceremony visually, sonically, and somatically by embodying and reflecting these kin species and phenomena of nature where cross-communication, reverberation, and feedback can create portals for a collective imagination.
