Artist statement
Embedded in every collapse is the opportunity to re-build. Adaptation, repair and collapse of mental structures, and how these events feel within our bodies, is central to my practice. My work articulates shifts born out of adjusting, repairing and remaking. I approach making through the lens of drawing and painting, but utilize a wide variety of materials and methods, such as fiber, object making and video. For example, I might use darning, re-weaving, paper inlay or paint as material metaphors within a body of work exploring one concept. Materiality is important to my practice, as every material has its own unique history of source, construction, use, and repair it brings to the conversation. In all my work I strive to make a space in which we can feel and recognize parts of our collective story. A space where we catch glimpses of our ability to mend, adapt and absorb change.
