What is the possibility that objects can reveal ​healing evidence? The sculptural objects I create depict fragmented spiritual acts of loss and transformation. For me, these acts include gardening, restoration, and acceptance. At the intersection of grief and joy, the work acknowledges the passing of time through a personal narrative permeated with everyday objects.

Appreciating ordinary moments from the kitchen, 后院, 和附近的, I am investigating what it means to recycle both memory and material as a way to identify a pattern and distill an environment that exists beyond the studio. 例如, the temporal qualities of food, 植物, and dirt coalesce with memory and it’s decomposition. By primarily focusing on imagery from the outdoors that exist in small home gardens, I’m exploring the humor and playful qualities of creating a 后院 sanctuary which will not protect me from the outside world but it may have the power to temporarily. Superstition exists here through reframing and cultivating hope. (If I build a birdhouse, perhaps my loved ones can revisit me in bird form. If they can’t, I will still welcome the warbler, the chickadee and the sparrow.)
