you me + ripples of relations
you me + ripples of relations is a resource, a tool for learning and reflection. It is a visual synthesis of a few concepts that have informed my understanding of interpersonal conflict and how energy moves through webs of relations. My hope is that this work offers an access point to understanding one’s domain and boundaries, and the relevance of cultivating awareness of how we extend ourselves towards one another.

Mainframe is The New Gallery’s online platform for web based projects. These online exhibitions are an extension of The New Gallery’s Main Space programming. Mainframe prioritizes accessibility in distributing art to the public, especially for those who are unable to attend in person programming. Mainframe is dedicated to furthering The New Gallery’s mandate to support the research, creation and exhibition of socially relevant and politically informed creative practices from artists at all junctures of their careers, while enabling public engagement with artist-run culture and contemporary art. Historically, online spaces have held space for sub-cultures, minorities and the voices of many who are otherwise unheard. Mainframe acknowledges this historical trend through its web-based medium and endeavors to continue this legacy.
This project is possible due to the support of Calgary Foundation, Calgary Arts Development and Canada Council for the Arts.
you me + ripples of relations inspired by three lineages of learning that I have been deepening in my work as a somatic coach and conflict practitioner: The Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin, Loving Justice Framework by Kai Cheng Thom and Strozzi Somatics / The Politics of Trauma.
As an artist who primarily centres their practice in the performing and live arts, I am humbled by this opportunity to challenge and expand my creativity through 3D digital art making.
A joyful dance in gratitude to The New Gallery for offering me the chance to experiment, virtually exhibit and receive mentorship from my PAiR collaborators Laura Anzola and Matthew Waddell of Axis Z Media Arts (AZMA).
