Like the decomposition of dead organisms on the forest floor and their rebirth from the soil as something new, I view the forms and surfaces in my work as fluid, always changing. My sculptural installation is a living environment comprised of fabrics and other domestic objects that have a past life. Disparate histories of the people who once owned these relics are connected by my meticulous assemblage. Nature is a balance between order and chaos, and while my sculptures may be chaotic, everything is carefully manipulated in order to properly honor the narratives of the objects I incorporate. I do this so that rather than being forgotten, these histories are enshrined, interwoven, and can grow in a symbiotic way.
