LATEST STATEMENT
“ I am currently working within the intersections of video, photography, and sculpture in the themes of grief, absence, time, and memory. Through research and archiving methods, I consider the relationship between the self, the past, and the serial nature in which they come together. My use of archives become not just sources, but a site of intervention — a space where materials can be re-contextualized and questioned, as seen in my photographic collage works. These collages function as a selective apparatus—both revealing and concealing—through which histories are constructed, identities negotiated, and bodies of water as physical sites and a space of memory. At the surface these new works are pulling from my personal experience as a competitive swimmer, a lifeguard, and water woman, but underneath they are about finding the parallels between my swim practice and art practice.”
