My work moves between representation and abstraction, drawing on techniques that straddle fine art and craft traditions. Central to my practice is an exploration of female relationships, particularly the mother-daughter bond, and the cycles of loss, memory, and desire that shape them. Through fragmentation and reassembly of imagery and materials, I mirror the way memory actually works: fractured, layered, and constantly reinterpreted.
Place and material history are increasingly important to my practice. Souvenirs, used linens, and other recycled domestic objects carry lives of their own, creating a dialogue between original and replica, between lived experience and what survives in memory. My use of porous materials (screens, mesh, and nets, for example) reflects an ongoing interest in the illusion of control: the way filters and barriers govern the flow of substance, time, and feeling. Ultimately, my work is about setting the stage for narrative possibility, layering memory, materials, and meaning to stretch time, inviting viewers to linger in the uncertainty and beauty of the unresolved.
