In my work, memories act as catalysts for storytelling. These fluctuating glimpses continually evade being pinned down and contribute to the sum of a sense of self. Different memories synthesize in my pieces, causing partial, fragmented, and even invented narratives to emerge. Intensive, laborious printmaking processes act as rituals and spaces for me to act out on my devotion to art. With my textiles, various hand-printed fabric pieces collide with used textiles and scraps of loved one’s own craft projects. Whether on paper or fabric, my art is a carrier of my experiences, my love, and my desire for something greater and definitive in an unstable world.

While many mediums attract me, printmaking puts forward wonderful spaces and people to grow alongside. Portfolio exchanges and moments of teaching in the printmaking studio offer sites of connection through art— a truly wonderful thing.
