Most of my work has a childlike sense of play, wonder, and experimentation. It often looks like a rainbow party full of color and pattern, but can simultaneously feel awkward, bodily, and at times cluttered and chaotic. My creative process carries an element of play that allows me to access a childlike part of my consciousness. The act of making becomes a way of translating the body’s memory into the physical realm. Sculptural, and often times wearable, works arise through intuitively processing scraps and discarded materials using textile techniques such as sewing, weaving, and crochet. Drawings act like illustrations for a story my body knows but my mind hasn't yet given words. Even when I draw the people around me, I am always translating my own psychological constructs onto the page. The act of gradually constructing narrative from the images locked in my psyche is a way of allowing my body's memories to find witness.
