Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
My work documents individual and collective experiences in my physical/spiritual/psychic environment. I explore the complexity of relationships and power dynamics between people, animals, domestic spaces, and landscape. That landscape and environment is Texas, Tejas, a border space, known by many names. I use futuristic imagery inspired by nature, cultural experiences and science fiction. I work from embodied experiences related to ADD, disassociation, and caregiving. This landscape, infrastructure, and society has deeply impacted how I move through different environments. My work documents this impact, showing a need to escape, feminist and border issues, and my concerns about the environment and future.
