How do we hold memory” How do memories hold us” I pose these questions as the starting point for my work, as I strive to embody moments of remembering, and consider the relationship between the body’s physical performance of memory and inscriptive practice.
My work deals primarily with imagined microbiological systems rendered on a macro- scale. I envision and create cells, organs, fluids, and tissues, and seek to assemble the elements into new systems of organic relationship and connection. I work in a variety of mediums, primarily in drawing and painting, and look for ways to take drawing beyond its traditional definition of ‘mark on paper.” I integrate traditional techniques with non-traditional mediums and approaches to create large installation pieces.
