Mixed Media
I combine elements of bone, dye, chiffon, paper, wood and found objects to tell the story of how we experience our bodies and how the experience is encoded. I tear apart, unravel, and desecrate what matters most to me in an effort to get to the center. I collage, which is all I can do since I cannot comprehend. I assemble what is fragmented within myself and those I have lost. I devour. I cannibalize.
