Artist Statement

I am “a gatherer of things—objects, words, spirit—and a connector of fragments, to make us whole and to help us heal.”

My broad artistic practice traverses the borderlands between spirit and matter. I create objects and performative gestures as a contemplative act. Much of the work, which is cobbled together from the detritus of life, is intended to be portable and able to metaphorically cross layers of shared and contested existence.

My practice is rooted in a socio-historical memory of place and addresses pressing issues while providing a refuge—a free space—that allows participants to name themselves, envision a different reality, and engage in the re-making of their world.
