Artist Statement
My work voices my fixations on fluctuating memory, defining moments in life, odd turns of phrase, and relationships. I navigate—and enjoy tangling—the threads connecting memory, storytelling, and imagination. I employ an array of printmaking methods, often working with screen-print, lithography, and monotype on both paper and fabric. Various hand-printed pieces combine with secondhand textiles and scraps in my sewn fabric collages and installations. I reckon with perceptions of craft and “woman’s work”, traditions of sewing and quilt-making by the women in my family, and memories embedded in the physical material of secondhand fabrics. My mixed media, collage-originated practice leaves space open for spontaneity, experimentation, and play.
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— the truly wonderful thing that drives me. Printmaking is the armature upon which my art practice and, by extension, my pedagogy is built: shaping the way I approach process, dedication to time spent in the studio, and my openness to the unexpected.
