Artist Statement

My work navigates the contention between how the mind and the body remember a place. Over the past several years, I’ve used personalized strategies to strengthen my recollection of spaces I have lived in, visited, or inhabited in a dream. Losing the ability to conjure these sites results in irrevocable states of being; landmarks from my past are charted through ongoing perception rather than fixed recordings. Relying on mind palaces and other mnemonic devices, both somatic and psychological approaches of visualization result in mixed perspective landscapes that bunch with memory and stretch from unfamiliarity. This body of fabric work unleashes a metaphysical world in which lived experiences are re-imbued into the blueprints of their infrastructures, embracing the distortion of perception that occurs during repeated recollection.

Taking the form of relief mappings, my work operates in the gray area between a flat template and an enclosed form. In this threshold, I understand the most about the geometry of a space.
