My work is a series of tangible memories, investigating human connectedness with space, nature, and relationships. The root of my practice can be shared through things familiar. Everyday objects and encounters present themselves, honest and beautiful, spurring a need to gather each one. Whether for interest or love I archive these fleeting moments.

Touch is something felt, a lasting mark that becomes layered in time. Working across mediums allows me to explore the way touch alters materials. Cut paper, pastel drawing, painting, and clay preserve my mark-making, a record of my touch. The sewing machine takes hold and veils my clumsy fingers nestling me safely as a beginner to the craft. It is a tool for creating objects that adore our sacred places. I chose materials that locate me in tradition and have an emphasis on tactility. As I create an archive of objects; existing in pieces it transforms into a repository of memory as I pin, cut, and form the pieces into parts of a whole.

Home is built through altars and offerings, a place prepared and shared. Keepsakes and relics bind us to the past as we layer our present.  We shift with each new phase but the structure of our home holds fast, grounding us in times of reckless joy and deep sorrow. I am interested in creating an invisible lattice, to accumulate memories revealing the connectedness I seek.
