My work explores ideas of indigeneity, the lack of access to quality legal aid, ideas of gender and the roles occupied therein. Wood is the medium I use primarily to discuss my content due to the variety of ways in which I can manipulate its form to meet the ends I desire. The treatment of my wooden surfaces is minimal; all surfaces and edges must be smooth but the form varies depending on what clothing article or accessory I am creating. Those forms have existed as traditional feminine objects like aprons, skirts, and espadrilles but have moved into more gender-neutral objects like bags. Humor is an important part of my work and like most Native people, I take few things seriously and use it as a tool to speak on difficult topics like gender and cultural identity. My use of performance as a medium spawns from my own experience as a legal aid and the legal work I conducted and the paperwork I executed for underserved Native peoples. The lack of legal knowledge and access to quality legal aid is an idea I am interested in, especially the shady characters that offer these “alternative services”. That is where my ersatz organization ‘S.H.I.T.E.’ comes in and serves as every form of questionable service providers in the realms of “haute couture” and legal assistance.
