I make imaginary spaces.
I have always lived in a world of day dream, perceiving reality through a series of filters. Creating objects allows the imaginary to become tangible. I am able to show to others the language I have created, through which I engage in the world around me. In my objects, I have turned movement and fluidity into stone and stillness. Fragments come together to create something like an artifact. Childish curiosity, joy, and deception. I love surprises the way I love bubbles and heartbreak. My current body of work functions as an exploration of intimacy and connection; meditating on the power of touch. |
