Statement

My collages represent the space between what we see and what we remember, between the places before us and those we carry within, where the world outside and the world within become one. I'm interested in the permeable boundary where lived experience becomes embedded in memory's visions and narratives. I draw from ecological phenomena: the constant flux of currents through water, the vibrant sunsets of my home, the interplay between human activity and the environment. My palette reflects the richness of these hybrid environments and the freedom of unrestrained memory.

Embedded within my work are traces that all places emerge from ongoing interactions between human activity and the environment; place is already a hybrid assemblage. Shaped edges open the work physically, inviting viewers to enter and move within it, a formal echo of the permeable boundaries the work explores. Hand-printed, drawn, and painted collage elements allow for spontaneity that preserves the vitality of these spaces, where sensory perception and physical experience are reshaped by memory.
