Heavenly is a body of mixed media works on paper, with various three-dimensional components, that returns to childhood photographs and souvenirs as starting points. The project investigates the multiple implications of its title (spiritual, physical, sensory) with a particular focus on food and the role it plays in rituals, gatherings, and commemorations of both life and death. Memory here is less pictorial than embodied, triggered by objects and images that carry the weight of accumulated experience. The work draws on earlier bodies of work (outre-mère and Paraphrasing Myself) while looking ahead, with plans to incorporate my mother's childhood hometown of Blythe, California, extending the themes of place and travel that have threaded through my practice since my thesis.
