Statement

I consider the home to be a container that not only shelters our physical bodies but also harbors memories and daydreams. I use the tension between warmth and sterility to question the notion of  absence and how a void emerges only to reveal the presence of something else. In part, my work is an investigation of loss, whether that be a mundane loss (of an object) or a profound loss (of a person). I am interested in my own sense of urgency to preserve memory while simultaneously being aware of the impossibility of such an endeavor. Although my work suggests vacancy, art making provides me the opportunity to reinvent and re-imagine the void through an uncanny and sometimes painful confrontation with my own memories.
