curriosity as process

(current work: 2023 - present)

My practice grows from a curiosity about what materials can hold. I work through collage, assemblage, and installation, often beginning with what is found or left behind. I pull things apart, reconfigure them, and trace how each surface carries memory through texture, pressure, and weight. The work records transformation, asking how materials remember and what they choose to forget.

I am drawn to the points of resistance in process. The way a material pushes back often reveals something human, something that mirrors the instability of memory and emotion. I treat making as both repair and inquiry, an ongoing act of care that asks for patience and attention.

Through layering, cutting, and reworking, I look for moments where fragility and persistence meet. My studio practice is a space for slowing down, listening, and staying present with what continues to change.
