Photo-based Artist & Independent Curator
I am an urban-Iroquois. You won't find a definition for 'urban Iroquois' in any dictionary or anthropological publication - it is this absence that informs my work as a photo-based artist, researcher, independent curator, cultural analyst and public speaker. My study of Indian-ness seeks to create an image bank of my urban-Iroquois experience, as well as re-contextualize historical images of First Nations people for a contemporary audience.
