Artist Statment
My artwork is a confrontation between the domestic and wild. It’s about origins, strange and familial. It’s about my own girlhood and the crafting of my internal landscape through dreams and solo-play. My painted pieces, depict feminine figures against surreal backdrops in acts of discovery and/or surrender to the natural elements elements.
In my collages, I use natural environments to transport to place the viewer. This disorientation is meant to evoke a yearning for a place that easily escapes us. A departing memory that could have also been a dream. There is often a trickster element in my work that amplifies the uncertainty. Tricksters dwell at thresholds and ask something in exchange for access.
The symbols in my work serve as a common tongue between the unseen world and I. We are still swapping intelligence. Thank you for witnessing.
