In the interstices of memory and the tangible world, I create narratives from the remnants of the past. It expands into the spaces left by frayed recollections seeking solace and structure within the flux of life’s constant motion. My creations are echoes of these pursuits, where found and reworked objects tell stories of their former lives, intertwining with the narratives I imbue them with. These pieces, rich with emotional history, challenge the conventional, inviting onlookers to ponder the domestic spaces that cradle our deepest selves. Through my work, I unravel my own experiences, piecing together fragments to form a truth that resonates differently for each of us.
Here, you’re invited to explore the spaces between memory and reality, where the familiar and ordinary reclaims wonder.
