Stereotypes are mantras of mistaken identity

It is more beneficial to address what a person is not, instead of who they should become.

As a Native American adoptee, I am aware of what it means to be marginal. I know the meaning and consequence of being the person that I am, at the cost of that perceived privilege. I lived a life without any knowledge of my origins. I carried stereotypes about myself as a hermaphrodite. As a child of this abduction, I was made aware of the unlimited systems of family dynamics that drive the human condition in our society. When reunited with my tribe, I perceived and accepted the disparate arrangements of my identity, as I transposed life experiences and genetic reactions into artwork. I employ this unity to inhabit my work, and I share the dynamism of culture by my existence.
