Artist Statement

I analyze and respond to the imagery I encounter in my life, documenting an invented, personal space. The hand-stitching process that’s incorporated in each piece demands an intimate conversation with the paper. Paper has many of the same qualities as skin and fabric: forms become birthmarks and scars, patches and bits of embroidery. The fibers of the paper always remember their journey in my obsessive hands.

Best advice you’ve been given • When you’re stuck, draw for ideas.

Goals/Aspirations • Right now, I just want to be able to work every day for the rest of my life.

Favorite artist • Eva Hesse, I saw a retrospective of her work at SFMOMA when I was in school and her love of and facility with her materials left me in awe.

What are you reading • Theories and Documents of Contemporary Art by Stiles and Selz

Hope to learn how to • I’ve always wanted to learn how to work with porcelain.

You spend a lot of time thinking about • What that next layer wants to be.

Favorite musical artist • For working in the studio, Pinback is my favorite band.

What do you do when not creating art • When I’m not working, I’m focused on making memories with my husband and two small boys.
