Artist Statement

My process involves making sculptures and paintings with a growing collection of found and personal artifacts. Rooted in my interest in dressing and arranging, the sculptures become vessels for these collected objects and serve as source material for the paintings.

The paintings engage with sensory experience, reflecting on how the revelation of only part of an image affects our understanding of time and emotive content. In the process of cropping, I discover new images that shift narrative and encourage projection onto the surface.
