Through a personal excavation, I collect and repurpose intimate artifacts that have been preciously stored away. These personal relics and other mass-produced items are combined with the common housefly in portraits of significant people from throughout my life.

This installation of etchings and mezzotints examines our obsessive fascinations with objects and their associations with individual people. Layering disparate memories, emotions, and objects on top of one another within a space generates clusters of curiosity and wonder. The memories are translated through childhood imagination, adult reasoning, whimsical movements, and fantastical acts of the unknown.
