About

My practice is grounded in experimentation, process and meditative observation. I am fascinated by what we, as humans, value and how we curate the lives we are granted. Growing up I moved often calling many places ‘home’ which fuels my interest in the relationship between location and identity. In my work, I collapse and merge categories recording information from physical space, nature, architecture, maps, and decoration. I use drawing as a strategy to understand, organize, disrupt and destabilize form in order to generate possibility to the space between subject, environment and all I cannot know.
