STATEMENT
I am inspired by the physical world, the fact that I exist within it, and the fact that it will continue on after I die. I am attracted to handmade and natural objects because they offer a direct connection to humanity, the surrounding world, and sensations of ongoing existence. Using combinations of paint, fabric, embroidery, and various found materials, I invent substances, images, and objects that waver between being time-intensive, handmade creations and effortless, naturally occurring phenomena. |
