ARTIST STATEMENT
My works reside somewhere between interior space and exterior environments, merging wallpaper-enveloped rooms and margins filled with birds, queers, and flora. Pieces filled with connections, both through physical patterns and thematic imagery, have allowed me to think of the works as a reflection of community, internal understandings of self, and the intricacies of the natural world. My prints, paintings, and fiber works develop through the repetitious acts of carving, flooding, printing, exposing, tiling, arranging, stitching, layering, tying, and sanding, until there is little distinction between these processes and my own inhales and exhales. I draw connections between people and place, whether physical environment or social positionality. Overlap and multiplicity are constants in my observations of nature and reflections of personhood. The loving act of "adding to" or layering, plays an integral role in my practice. My surface designs rely on looking closely, for both myself and the viewer, to find and connect the many areas of repetition and overlay, resulting in an interpersonal relationship to the work.
