My
artistic practice includes site related installations, wearable
art, video and sculpture. At first glance these bodies of work
may seem disparate; however, they are inspired and shaped by
a shared impulse to transform familiar forms into metaphorical
constructions and paradoxical observations. I investigate the
multiple associations that are present in a material, site,
image, or gesture, seeking to identify and enhance points of
connection and tension between these suggestions. I favor found
materials that contribute their function, cultural value, and
a trace of their mysterious personal history to my design. All
of my projects demonstrate a dedication to craft. I employ basic
methods of connection such as tying, weaving, and stitching,
imbuing my work with a feminine sensibility, and whose meticulous
labor evokes a sense of time, memory, and obsession. Permeating
all of my creative endeavors is a slightly dark humor and a
fascination with awkward beauty.
