“My work articulates shifts born out of adjusting, repairing and remaking. The main catalyst for the work is my own health. I have a chronic blood condition which leaves me with a heightened sense of the precarious. I have, and will in the future, suddenly need to drastically change or abort plans due to my condition. This sense of living in precarity is by no means unique to me, it is a part of our collective story. We all experience traumatic events which change our course, demanding that we repair and remake ourselves. 


I am interested in visualizing how the moment we are called to change feels, and what mending the pieces back together might look like.


In all my work I strive to make a space in which we can feel and recognize parts of our collective story; a space where we catch glimpses of our ability to mend, adapt and absorb change.”
