Sculptures  2022-2025

This period of work is focused on  an exploration of what home means, and how a home

can construct our version of reality. What is the function of a home, and how can

it shape who resides there? A house, shelter, or nest can hold the stories and

memories of its inhabitants. Using natural, manmade and found materials to

intertwine, reshape, and release those memories into something tangible is a way

to engage with the complexities of home. The goal is to explore this perspective by

using discarded furniture, construction remnants, and found materials as building

blocks that tell a story. A recurring form in my work is a brick. It represents the

colonial-style architecture I grew up around. It can show up in my work as a building

block, a pedestal, or even a lung. By using a hierarchy of materials like plaster, latex,

glass and metal, the sculpture tells its own narrative. Incorporating glass,

stop-motion video, sound, and electronics into sculpture allows for a sense of

passing time. Bringing all of these materials together is representative of building a

house or a nest, where past, present and future come together.
