I make art to materialize the riddles embedded in my lived experience. As I go from one day to the next in the studio, I think about color and pattern, shape, whatever snags on my brain, catches my eye. These have ranged from old photographs to flowers from the grocery store to a ripple on the lake, wave at the seashore, the words of my neighbor. For a long time my art centered on the passing of time and I worked with the pervasive symbols of waves breaking on the seashore and flowers living while also dying in a vase. Now my art looks at what sticks as we move through life. I am interested in bringing to light the ways in which entrenched patriarchy weasels its way into daily life and affects children from a young age.
