Artist Statement
It may be a result of being a vessel of comfort, or perhaps better stated; a servant of comfort, I am particularly interested in the objects of human comfort in conjunction with imagery of emptiness and decay. I am also intrigued by the interior and exterior views, and careful placement of work in a gallery setting which allows the viewer to gain access to the inside of a piece, but never fully experience or access it. These themes have been prevalent in other work, work which preceded my role of mother, but I could not fully see all of the parallels between old and new work until becoming a mother. It has made me more human. It has made me warmer. It has certainly made me more intuitive.

Artist Statement
My work is engaged in discourses around feminism, labor and technological change. Embedded in the works are confluences of technique and meaning, craft and digital media, and everyday materials with fine art forms. The work is situated at the nexus of life and art, and walks a boundary between work and love. Labor and love act broadly as dual domains which sustain my interest in the ways a subject acts and is acted upon by intersecting social, economic, intimate, emotional and political forces. While some works describe the ways in which labor and love converge in personal and economic experience, others begin to search for meanings of love that may deviate from material, economic conditions to transform the terms of our intimate and collective relationships.
