This website is an open, living archive of my practice, a place where the work can gather, evolve, interconnect, and stay in conversation with itself. Seen together, the pieces form their own constellations, linked sometimes by time and sometimes simply by proximity, by the quiet ways materials and forms call or whisper to one another. The archive traces the movement of my studio over twenty-seven years: from an early period grounded in family snapshots (1999–2018) to a more recent immersion in vintage needlepoint, painting, printmaking, and experiments with process, surface, and resin-based assemblage (2018–present). Many of these materials arrive already carrying the touch and labor of others who lived before me. Working with them creates a kind of dialogue – an exchange across time – with the unknown makers whose decisions, mistakes, gestures, and imagined lives remain embedded in the objects that find their way to my studio. Throughout these changes, I return to certain questions – about the transformation of images through time, the grid, reproduction, value, labor, and the feminist recoding of inherited, undervalued craft traditions. These questions are shaped through hands-on processes, repetition, alteration, deconstruction, reconstruction, and translation, and by the tools I use, the surfaces I touch, and the techniques I inherit and reinvent; each brings its own material logic into the studio. The image galleries below each include a descriptive text that explores in more detail the ideas, materials, and contexts that give rise to my work.
