Artist Statement
Experiences affect and reside in our bodies, seeping out through contact with other bodies and objects and leave remnants of us behind in furniture, clothing, interior spaces, and other people. I am interested in the trace of the body, the evidence of interaction and emotional entanglement, the physicality of a memory. I am attempting to document and re-create my own residues and interactions, quieting the stories to the point at which the specificity of the experience is palpable but indeterminable. I want my body to be tangible but my voice to be inaudible. The visibility of my hand, the exactness of material, and the neurosis of the craft are essential to the tactility of the work and the promotion of physical contact between the piece and the viewer.
