WREST is a multi-media performance created by artistic collaborators Jules Gimbrone, Elliot Montague, and Jules Skloot. WREST engages film, dance, and music to illuminate and examine the archetypal martyrdom of Joan of Arc in the context of queer narratives and embodiments.

This experimental documentary meditates on the space between two bodies and explores three key bodies in transition: the erotic "cruising" body, the transgender body, and the pregnant body.

These earlier works were shot on a bolex and edited on a flatbed during my time at Hampshire College. Most of these laid the groundwork for my present work, focusing on familial relationships and the exploration of the landscape in which we grew up.
