new artist statement (in progress...)


I address a personal history of absence and loss by natural disaster through actions such as mending, patching, and reconstructing. I consider these practices to be healing both in a physical and emotional sense. As I work on surfaces with my hands, fabric becomes skin, a building becomes a shell, and a photograph becomes a vessel. These ideas of containment (skin/shell/vessel) are tied to feelings of security within a space or within oneself.
