"What is an Indian narrative? Can the "realness" of data be explored as a fictional space? If I map my indigenous female body, is it now my own?"

"The piece takes my body through an environmental simulation of the Oglala Lakota comsologyscape, as I shoulder the burden of 4 female Lakota characters who have shaped space/time. The piece includes 12 sculptures, animation, sound, video, carbon fiber, clothing, and movement, developed from an obsessive hyper-structure derived from “bad” source books that attempt to qualify Oglala religion into a simplified chart.

This piece explores the relationship between my body and the entanglement between lies, fiction, oral history, mythology, ethnography, and Lakota religion." 

Performed at The Banff Centre on February 6th, 2016.

SavvySimulations

Conceptualized intitally as a theme camp for Neotropolis, the SavvySimulations product line was born at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Immediately following the release of the iPhone 12, I designed, fabricated and delivered first of a kind Magsafe stands for the iPhone 12 line. I was the first on the market before any of the big players like Belkin or Anker could even make deliveries of their products. My ability to rapidly fabricate and deliver nationally outpaced that of overseas accessory factories. I had 249 sales on Etsy alone, many of them were bulk orders for friends and family.

I 3D printed Magsafe Stands using only colorful recycled PETG filament, sourced from melted down water bottles and the like, in order to reduce the impact on the Earth.

I grew so fast that Etsy shut me down, worried that I wouldn’t be able to meet demand. I started a Shopify and profited $6000 in one month by 3D printing my designs on 3 x Ender 3D printers. I subcontracted other 3D printer businesses to make prints and ship orders for me for a cut of the proceeds. I even expanded to Amazon Prime and ran wildly successful marketing campaigns on Google, Reddit and MacRumors.

Competitors started copying my design, and then the big players started delivering their products, so I exited the market. I had my fun.

One day someone hacked my Etsy account trying to impersonate me and steal my clients, Etsy shut down the account but has refused to return it to my control.
