Statement
I make work, not art. To consider the art more important than the process
takes away the human interaction involved in the work. I am not interested
in making art, I am interested in making. Art is not what distracts me
from life. It is what makes me pay more attention to it.
My work has to do with my body. The forms are not representations of me,
but they are about how my body reacts with materials. I work in multiples
to see how the work effects my body over time. Calluses are traces of my
efforts.
I am most interested in process, experimentation, and site. I work as an
object maker and through process and experimentation I create units. I
sometimes attach the units to make an art object, or I react to the space
itself to create a site specific installation out of the units.
I work without a finished product in mind. This allows me the freedom to
change and develop based on how materials are working. My work is a series
of experiments but it also deals with maintaining tradition. My interest in
women’s labor is strongly represented in my work.
I am hovering between fibers, installation, and sculpture.
