“Everyday experience has always been a key
influence on my process.
I am fascinated by the imperceptible connections of seemingly random everyday occurrences as well as how we interact with each other in different social contexts. The tactile nature of my process allows me to meditate and reflect on my daily encounters. The labor of making is a commitment that is obsessive and irrational. It is stemmed from the faith to make change and to transcend humanity. It is not about fulfilling desires but the awakening of spirituality. Through the repetition of gathering, stitching, bind- ing, compressing, and crumbling, new connections start to unfold, and the work evolves as a biomorphic form that inhabits space. Fragments and the unevent- ful become a cohesive and meaningful whole.“
