ART STATEMENT

The way I currently approach art is through a process I like to call “personal archaeology”. I sift through collected items from letters, and unfinished drawings, to old paintings and repurposed fabrics. I cultivate a relationship with these materials, honoring the meaning they hold, whether emotional or superfluous. By constructing new paintings that bridge the past and present, I revitalize discarded objects to forge new connections. Ultimately, I explore how stories and objects anchor us against the unstoppable passage of time, creating the emotional maps of our lives.
