Overall dimensions: 84" tall x 12" wide.
Medium: Charcoal Rubbings on found graph paper.
Statement: “The Mother Rubbings,” is a work on paper created during a durational performance, which took place March through July of 2020. I walked the rows of graves, taking rubbings of every headstone marked ‘mother.’ This work serves as a personal and collective means of expressing grief over the deaths of millions of women and mothers due to COVID - 19. The piece asks: How can art objects facilitate the communal grieving process? What means of mourning remain for families when a pandemic separates them from their passing kin?

Medium: Sculpture: Plexi-glass pillar, cast off fibers
Statement: Diptych sculpture made from plexiglass and filled with bright layers of thread referencing sedimentary layers of earth and the state of my laundry pile. These works are the heights of my two young children, my artist equivalent to the practice of marking heights upon the door jams of a family home. These works map the territory of the home-place and were made during my Artist-Residency-in-Motherhood. They are also a part of my interdisciplinary body of work entitled Topography of Dwelling, which includes sculpture, video, drawing, fiber and installation.

Statement: The Memory series also begins with spraying paint through found doilies, but then the paper substrate is stitched through and crocheted on. The doily references how people manipulate their recollections by being inverted and re-created in different media. This altering reflects how people relate to the past: they forget, remember incorrectly, recall certain pieces clearer than others, and evolve the event through retelling.

Medium: Ceramic sculpture encrusted with salt, supported by steel armature.
Statement: My work begins with images and objects familiar to me, cultivated from memories or common mythologies. Utilizing different methods of preservation, I select materials to mimic decay or relics, supporting the construction with spindly braces and techniques found in excavation. Through text, imagery, and tools, I examine the way symbolic actions and regional affect shape identity. I invite viewers to reflect on the artwork and the role of entropy so we may understand them as contributing factors, built upon intersecting layers of experience and chance, progressively interwoven to form a picture
