As a child, I was fascinated with the way things were put together. I was always going around the house searching for objects to disassemble and reassemble. Everything was an intricate puzzle--a composition of smaller parts that, when choreographed in just the right way, produced a new thing. My art practice is a continual evolution of this innate curiosity that has been transposed from the constituents of objects to the constructions of meanings.
I utilize handmade and found objects to think about how my own touch exists within the realm of foreign materials manufactured into my everyday experience. By gathering materials from different rhythms of my life and collaging them together, I harmonize discrete melodies into poetic compositions to help me ascertain the nature of my lived experience and to ask questions about the relations between objects and where I exist among these exchanges. I allow these assemblages to develop their own murmuration, where components begin to act together as one large organism.
This germination creates room for spontaneity and play, both of which I find valuable to learning and thinking. I embrace play through the interactions of forms with color and the compositions of materials in space, assembling them in ways that reflects nostalgia and a deep curiosity of objects. These intuitive reactions result in an ecosystem of volatile peculiarities that dance within parameters to bring the work into a liminal space of construction and deconstruction.
