As an artist and designer, my goal is to facilitate a meaningful dialogue focused on the subjectivity of experience–to initiate self-reflection and to leave the viewer with something deeper than they expected. A primary theme in much of my work involves home as a concept and its contribution to the construction of identity. I investigate through paper and dimension how form, structure and objects create meaning by crafting intimate spaces for the mind and body to engage in. Furthermore, I am examining the spatial relationship that exists between duality–the interior and exterior, material and immaterial, the tangible and intangible. Through process, practice and inquiry a conversation develops.
