artist statement

My work explores the nature of vulnerability and addresses what it means to be 'at home', both in the physical architectural space and in one’s body. My interest in the concept of home stems from my having resided in three different continents and having moved often throughout my life. I'm interested in articulating the subtle qualities of objects that make the physical space around one's body a 'home'. I find these in the domestic and mundane, and specifically in moments of contemplation, reflection, sleep, and solitude.

 

I work with India ink, charcoal, oil paint sticks, oil paint, etching and lithography printmaking. Because these media are harder to control, their use reflects the fragility and fluidity that I wish to expose in intimate scenes. I work on paper and unstretched canvas because they are easier to transport. My work is heavily analog and has visibly hand-made attributes in order to remain close to authentic human experiences.
