About

I am fascinated by the landscapes we build for ourselves—the accumulated significance of physical places and the intricate topography of our interpersonal environments.  My mixed media works grow out of these considerations and play off the functional objects that populate our everyday.  This focus on place and utility reaches beyond materiality to imply and invite human contact.  I am questioning how these objects enable spaces, spaces spur interaction, interaction spawns artifacts, and each element feeds the other.

Sometimes making new heirlooms is the only love language that will suffice. I’m still wary of the line between craft and Art but sewing objects with functional warmth feels so human 💙🧡

Everything feels heavy right now, and I’m sending my heart to Pittsburgh this week. Always grateful for a call to action from #sistercoritakent. For goodness sakes, VOTE next week.
I never have the right words to wrap up the sadness and outrage, but silence is complicity. I’m sheltered from so much by my white cis status and hope that I am always learning how to be a better ally. The government has no business legislating someone’s gender or someone’s body, and this is hateful bs. Everyone reading this better be voting in November. Thank you to every person posting messages of support and resistance, where to donate and how to better speak up. 🙏🏽
