Statement:
“My work explores the nature of vulnerability and addresses what it means to be “at home”, both in the physical architectural space and in one’s body. My interest in the concept of home stems from my having resided in three different continents and having moved often throughout my life. In exploring the subtlety of “home”, I continuously question what makes the physical space around one’s body a home. I work with the domestic and mundane, taking interest in moments of contemplation, reflection, sleep, and solitude.
I work mainly with India ink, oil paint, oil paint sticks, and lithography printmaking to depict the body in its everyday space. I ground my work in heavily analog processes, incorporating visibly hand-made attributes, in order to remain close to the human experiences.”
