Masking has been a significant value in my internal and creative work. Masking has been a symbol of: inquiry, curiosity, expression, an entry point, rupture; and a tool for art making.  

Masking has pushed my performative work, it has also given life to my creative work of characters and story development. Masking has been important to ensemble and theater work, and I hope to use masking in therapeutic and transformation work in community.
