My works attempt to negotiate the fragility and mystery of the world, while searching out the sublime and the possibility of wonder. Through collecting objects, accumulating stitches, lines or circles in drawings and sculptures, I am creating worlds to exist within.
These pieces deal with the transformation of objects into something greater than their individual selves. The objects I use often have individual histories, and are saturated with memory. I like to play on this nostalgia while evoking a promise of renewal and inspiration by careful consideration of the placement and specificity of the objects.
I have included in my samples five different installations that use collected objects or craft materials as their inspiration. These pieces all deal in some way with domestic spaces and a search for the fantastical within those spaces. They also deal with, most of all, my continued search to situate myself within the world through my work.
