My pieces reflect the nuances of my personality and my vulnerabilities when self-expressing. They are connected in the ways they return to the body and psyche, which communicates the ways I have or have not processed trauma and pain. My works come from a reality in which time is nonlinear, and space plays a large role in processing and understanding time. Whether it is a moment or eon, the present is only connected to our relationship to the observational world.

When we imagine, dream, remember, reminisce, or hallucinate, we contain the ability to exist in a liminal space where anything is possible, and the impossible is merely a limit of our own design. The freedom to create your own fantasy sometimes can be more valuable and healing than staying fixated on the things that are always out of our control. I want to encourage participants of my work to feel at all, to examine their relationships to feelings, and their capacity to express or not express them, all while creating a world where imagination and daydreams are a valid pastime.

Currently, my practice is an unconscious and conscious unraveling of grief, and visualizing the ways my grief manifests. I have recently started working with more organic materials like hair; either mine, my pet’s, or my family/loved ones. I want to further expand my range of techniques and continue to self-express the raw qualities of my subject matter with artworks that can connect people or enrich those who view it with a new perspective.
