In my exploration of fibers and mixed media, I work with a variety of materials, including wool, silk, linen, paint,

plaster, and found objects. The intimacy of fabric resonates with the human experience, holding a sensory richness

that connects us across time. My materials, such as handmade wool felt, repurposed clothing, concrete, plaster,

and paint, speak to a lineage of human makers focused on embodied knowledge.

Themes of the body permeate my work, delving into the intricate interplay between external appearance, internal

identity, and the impact of sensory experiences. Inspired by the raw and unfettered depictions of Louise Bourgeois, I

encapsulate the excruciating love and fear within motherhood and the female body. Jean-Michel Basquiat's lack of

preciousness and multilayered texts influence my expressive marks, embodying the excitement and impulse of the

creative act.

My process is experimental, embracing chaos, destruction, and reconstruction. Working across fiber techniques,

sculptural methods, and hand dyeing with plant-based dyes, each piece becomes a journey of unexpected

contrasts and intimate narratives. The studio serves as a space for unfiltered exploration, where autobiographical

references intertwine with material experimentation, and the abject is sacred.

In a contemporary art landscape often characterized by slickness and digital precision, my handmade approach

celebrates imperfections, fortunate mistakes, and the transformative power of destruction. My work refuses to

conform to conventional expectations, urging viewers to reckon with the messy and wild nature of life. Through

contrasting textures and colors, I seek to communicate directly to the viewer's body, inviting narratives and

reflections on personal consumption in capitalist society. The overarching message is one of acceptance—life is

messy, weird, and short, and there's beauty in embracing imperfections and the unconventional.
