How would you describe your apartment?
My apartment has been home for just over 4 years. It's filled with people I love. Over the years, those people and I have acquired many odds and ends, which fill every crevice of the apartment. Most of our socializing occurs in the kitchen. Common activities include family band practice and food network screenings.
What was your experience of filming Home Bodies?
Filming Home Bodies was such a pleasure! It seemed only natural to make a dance thing in my kitchen with the likes of Mariel, McKenzie, and Patrick, a delightful group of artists. A lot of art making happens within the walls of my apartment, and the fact that these three wanted to come in and capture a bit of it was pretty special.
