Artist Statement
I work with textiles, collage, and images to understand how memory shapes and reshapes a life. Much of my practice involves rebuilding – layering materials and fragments to follow what is fading, returning, or becoming something new. My new project is shaped by my mother's shifting memory – how remembering obscures and reveals, and how reconstruction might offer steadiness as things change.
