Ravelled | Mending | Falling Apart | Resume | Text | Contact

 

 

When things fall apart, they are often cast aside—abhorrent, unsightly, or painful to look at. Once gone, our memories of them change. I seek out that which calls attention to an emotional and physical falling apart, its inherent beauty and ugliness, captivated by those moments that mirror our experience. I look to amplify those qualities through the conventions of photography, video and sculpture. Throughout my work, traces of vulnerability are heightened for examination. Those vulnerabilities become metaphors for our own emotional and physical falling apart, pointing to both presence and absence, and speaking to that slippage between subject and object, object and body, and a record of what once was and still is.
