Artist Statement

"My work examines the myriad chronicles told by objects, a shared intersection of body, culture, and history. I look to artifacts as a means of dismantling and reconstructing; a mutable archive of cultural evidence as histories entwine with present moments. Through fragmented forms, allegoric containers, and quotidian tableau, I explore stories erased, distorted, and rewritten. I utilize the vessel as an assemblage of parts, an accumulation of material culture to offer multiple perspectives. The work becomes a site to examine economies of power, migration and occupation, labor and commodification. Through this process, disparate systems, forces, and ideologies converge as layered narratives combine in one form."
