ARTIST STATEMENT
My practice much like the themes of my work is a slow cultivation, embracing multiplicity across mediums, materials and sizes. The works have a life of their own— morphing, becoming and unbecoming. The themes of my work revolve around home as a domestic space where political life is conducted on a daily basis. A site from and of memory, simultaneously fluid and consistent, fragile yet sturdy. My material replicates this commitment to slowness, often layered and always personal, hence "home" is always being stitched together and taken apart. My practice lives in the joy of disorientation: maps that mislead as they guide, mirroring how we construct and misremember places. Tactile, navigable installations invite touch, engagement and hope to demand temporary stillness from the audience.
