Visualization, Transformation, and Presentation.

 

My work is diaristic and immediate, utilizing domestic processes in order to respond to the world around me. I incorporate sewing and drawing often combining fabric, paper and delicate objects to respond to an event, an idea or something that has just happened. All manner of things are unsettled or unstable in this world.

 

I am a collector of discarded, broken, or unnoticed objects. My work reflects on the precarious nature of life. Reinventing objects allows, myself and others to connect with my work. They are recognizable everyday objects of beauty and visual comfort.
