Artist Statement

My practice navigates identity, memory, and our inner world, which can confine us as much as comfort us. Through the repetition of figures, found objects, and different layered media, each piece becomes part of the story set in the inner world.

 Somewhere between daydream and emotional crutch, Homebody is the surreal inner world in which all of my work takes place. The creatures within this world live as embodiments of traits, such as dysphoria and obstinacy. Figures stand in as unmoving reflections of others. The environment is erratic, only stable at its threshold and landmarks. My memories, identity, and image are all ingrained into the fabric of Homebody in an obsessive need to understand as the subject and artist.
