Artist Statement
As an artist, conversationalist, mover, and archivist, I use video, sound as well as<br />unconventional and overlooked materials like words, time, relationships and movement as<br />components to create. My work revolves around acknowledging the body as simultaneous site<br />of production, care and labor.<br /><br /><br />While the body of the mother is still only barely tolerated within the contemporary art world, I<br />want to replace this isolation with the idea of sharing community in times of personal struggle.<br />By using "physicality as production" as a methodological principle my work provides glimpses<br />into the maze of enigmas - time precarity, gender roles within the arts, labor relations and the<br />body as a multifaceted vehicle - that I am trying to find a way through and that allows others to<br />share my questions and ask questions with me.<br /><br />Laying bare my experience in the strange, cozy, blurred zone of not being just one, but also not<br />being two the work aims to mirror and encourage an intimate approach to the interdependence<br />of minds and bodies. Embedded in curiosity, open-endedness and exposedness, I very much<br />believe in vulnerability and in art as a means of assemblage and survival in precarious times.<br />Seeing myself and my work as spinning a subtle thread of positive contamination, I want to think<br />of my practice as fostering a constellation in which art is a direct tribute to the spirit of sharing<br />and connection between communities.

Artist Statement
In 2015, I became a mother. I was prepared for the grueling labor, and sleepless nights, but the loss of my sense of self can as a surprise. I had no time to think and I began to feel like a shell of a person. My early days of motherhood were alienating and awful as well as sentimental and dear. I began to see myself as defined only by a relationship. I felt that my son was an appendage of myself; the embodiment of self and other. It was hard to accept that he was a growing, changing person while I was to remain forever split. When he is near my thoughts are entangled around him and when I am away I cannot seem to be the person I was before.<br /><br />A child is how we remain on Earth; they are our legacies. As I see my son grow I feel my time begin to speed up; I feel my decay. When we think about birth we must realize our death. Motherhood is precious and raw; wonderful and dark.

Artist Statement
Working across disciplines, I conduct research-based projects that take assorted forms, including installations, drawings, writing- and photography-based series. My academic work has been concerned with women's life-writing, literary theory and postcolonial literature. Since 2009, I've focused on projects that investigate the nature-culture dichotomy as well as stories of tourism, travel and exploration. I started an Artist Residency in Motherhood (ARiM) in October 2016, to document my experience of motherhood and explore the research process in this new (for me) context.

Artist Statement
<span>Rather than documenting or representing the real world, I reflect on it by moving sideways from it, constructing a parallel reality, a reality that mixes the familiar with the uncanny, real and unreal at once. The making of my work is based on experimental situations. My process is chance based. I write instructions, which lead to scenarios, open-ended structures, for performances that result in artworks. While past works have featured others performing for me, my new work puts me into the frame. Pointing the lens on myself is decidedly uncomfortable for me; I feel safer behind the camera. The decision to cast myself both as subject and object comes out of the realization that I need to work with the discomfort and tension that this action creates in me. If I am embarrassed by my work, then it is worth pursuing.</span>

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.

Artist Statement
<p>In 2012 I founded <a href="http://www.residencyinmotherhood.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An Artist Residency in Motherhood</a> — a structured, fully-funded artist residency that takes place inside my own home and life as a mother of two young children.</p>
<p>Artist residencies are usually designed as a way to allow artists to escape from the routines and responsibilities of their everyday lives. An Artist Residency in Motherhood is different. Set firmly inside the traditionally “inhospitable” environment of a family home, it subverts the art-world’s romanticization of the unattached artist, and frames motherhood as a valuable site, rather than an invisible labour for exploration and artistic production.</p>
<p>As the first artist-in-resident-in-motherhood I aim to embrace the fragmented mental focus, exhaustion, nap-length studio time and countless distractions of parenthood as well as the absurd poetry of time spent with young children as my working materials and situation, rather than obstacles to be overcome.</p>
<p>The following works are amongst those made during my tenure as Artist-in-Residence-in-Motherhood;</p>

<p>The project is archived in full at <a href="http://www.residencyinmotherhood.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.residencyinmotherhood.com.</a> On conclusion of my tenure in May, 2014 the project will be passed along to two new residents.</p>
<p>An Artist Residency in Motherhood was funded by the Robert C. Smith Fund and the Betsy R. Clark Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation and a Sustainable Art Foundation Award, and supported in kind by Pittsburgh Filmmakers and Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse.An Artist Residency in Motherhood was exhibited at Pittsburgh Center for the Arts in 2012, and documents and works from the project are currently being exhibited in Complicated Labors at University of California Santa Cruz, curated by Irene Lusztig & Natalie Loveless until March 15th 2014.</p>
