-            Hermit Fantasy is a short story about a bot and a hermit. Inspired by an email response from a survey I conducted about receiving emotional support on the Internet, this story explores the contradiction of being online while wanting to disconnect. As an act it's a series of letters, click by click.

This is an imagined response to an email I received. The story explores the loneliness of both being online and offline. As an act, it's a series of letters, click by click.

-    <br>Is all intimacy about bodies? What makes intimacy? What happens when our bodies distance intimacy from us? This anthology of poems and short stories explores these questions—having a body without intimacy and intimacy without a body. This project honors those who have shared their vulnerability and emotions online, creating "backplaces"—tender online spaces for relief, ease, and transcendence from societal pain.
+      Backplaces is a web-based play. A short anthology of poems and stories about vulnerability, intimacy, and the internet. It explores the internet as a place for holding big feelings and intimacy when it is unbearable. As an homage to those who have have been vulnerable with me I created "backplaces". They are tender online spaces for relief and acknowledgement of societal pain.

-    I created three backplaces for you: Solar Sibling, Hermit Fantasy, and Cake Intimacies. Each represents a unique performance or project. Some stories may evoke memories of pain. As you sit in the audience, know I am with you, holding your hand through each scene. If it feels overwhelming, you can step out, take a break, or leave. This isn't choreographed, and I care deeply for you.

+    In the first, I asked participants to eat cake, sitting facing or away from each other, and share stories about cake and the internet. I hosted the second performance at the Art Meets Radical Openness Festival. There I predicted participants' future internet lives using felted archetypes. In return I received stories about feeling strong emotions on the internet.

-    It’s called Solar Sibiling and it's a project that reimagines the Tumblr practice of web weaving pieces of media into collages. I did this by transforming user comments from TikTok videos about sibling relationships into poems. To do this I have taken the feeling behing the comment, found where it met my own and used our shared words. These poems capture a collective sense of despair and comfort in shared experiences. Solar Sibling is both a celebration of the vulnerabilities nurtured in online communities and an invitation to share anonymous contributions on the complexities of sibling relationships via comment form. Once you have whispered your sibiling feelings to me, they will stay with me and will never be used nor shared. It is just to make us both feel less singular.
