STATEMENT

I push boundaries and generate dialog by combining multimedia processes with collage to create alternative realities reminiscent of memories, fantasy and chaos. I juxtapose vintage magazine cutouts with images of my handbuild sculptures and personal photographs to create multi-layered compositions and narratives. Often, in the course of my work, I find old articles that mirror current events, stark reminders of how history repeats in a continuous loop of stories about cultural and social conditions with little to no change, highlighting how far we have yet to go, and how challenging that journey can be. But I find hope in art and its power to create awareness, generate ideas and connect people in meaningful, productive ways. Art is never separate from life, a dynamic force that when harnessed is a positive agent for change.
