About the author

I am an interdisciplinary artist, activist and educator who has explored themes of sexuality, gender, queerness, and feminism through art for over 20 years. My current passion is SexEcology: the art of exploring the Earth as a lover. This work is designed to create the desire in others to love, cherish, and honor the earth as they would their own lover, instead of expecting the earth to take care of them as one might expect from one’s mother. SexEcology combines my interest in sexuality and ecology in order to help stop environmental degradation and bring about environmental healing and pleasure. Some of my other works include the bronze sculptural installation, The Academic/Porn Star Panty Collection; the road trip performance piece Wish You Were Here; and the video installation, Kiss; as well as my ongoing collaboration with Annie Sprinkle in the Love Art Laboratory. I have exhibited and performed in museums, galleries and festivals around the world.
