Artist Statement
Consumed with hidden and exposed structures, my investigation of physical construction, cultural paradigms, and their relationship originates from the framework most familiar to me, the house in which I grew up. Contradictions within this space spark my desire to highlight the fluidity of perceived binaries, particularly those relating to feminine and masculine, public and private, and modern and traditional.
Ascribing to the visual context of home as well as the ethos of homemade, I paint, adhere, carve and chip away at plywood, drywall and paper. I vacillate between tearing apart and tenderly memorializing my personal family experience while raising questions related to immigrant status, feminism, and queerness.
