Performance opens for me the landscape of the body, where sounds, atmospheres and presences come together; where ritualistic writing allows ventures into visceral, hypnotic, visionary journeys. All my performance work is inspired by the ontologies of hallucinatory paradigms and poetics, buddhist practices and philosophies, animistic ecologies; and by the work of artists such as Laurie Anderson, John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, Kimmo Pohjonen and Patti Smith.
