About:
Mixed media artist in South Philadelphia, working primarily in metalsmithing, photography, paper-making and textiles.
Artist Statement:
“Our shared spaces accumulate traces of each other. We are embedded in inherited surroundings, and the remnants we leave behind connect us to one another.
My art practice involves collecting imagery and materials from public spaces that are usually overlooked and disregarded. I process these materials and experiences, exploring ways for them to interact through repetitive, meditative actions: stitching thread, forming metal, tearing paper, tying knots.
Materials and spaces are often categorized either as resources to be valued, tended, and used--or as waste to be neglected, discarded, left overgrown. Through my practice, I explore how attention and care can destabilize these categories. The work invites the viewer to find beauty and value in our shared spaces and experiences.”
