Artist statement

My practice moves between textile, painting, and sculpture. They can come together allowing individual pieces to form a spatial constellation. My work is informed feminism and led by intuition. It often develops before language. It stems from questions, lived experience, and emotion. Making is a way of thinking and testing ideas.


Materials and the tactility of working with those  provide momentum to my making process.
Experimentation and failure are key to this, understanding mistakes as productive points that can redirect work.


Layering, shifts in visibility and perception that change with light, distance, and viewing angle are elements spanning across my work.

The work aims to meet the viewer on an emotional and sensory level, allowing meaning to arise through perception and bodily presence rather than through rational explanation.
