Artist Statement
I build fragmented bodies, vulnerable to the inevitability of mortality and the tension between wounds and mending. I work primarily with painting, text, and printmaking. My practice is rooted in observation and indirectly documentary: I gather pre-existing stories, gestures, and bodies from the environments around me to build new narratives. My eyes are restless, expanding images into series and repetitions. Each artwork becomes a zone in which objects and events are related temporally, topically, or by nothing but proximity.
