Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
I repurpose textiles and organic materials for my sculptural, installation, and video work. Creating myths around my personal journey as a trauma survivor, I explore the cathartic, transformative power of healing. My work is process-focused, utilizing repetition and pattern as both a system for self-soothing and a ritual that honors the invisible labor of inner work. I am influenced by nature, mythology, dark fantasy, and the land art movement.
