My work is a variation of ever-changing feelings surrounding my experiences, I enjoy seeing my growth through my pieces. I often use printmaking and painting as a snapshot of my current mental state. In this way, I can see how I am changing. The physicality of this work allows me to process my life through labor. Printmaking lends itself the freedom to be manipulated through editions while also providing multiples of an original copy that takes away the anxiety of only having one physical work. While painting lacks the multiplicity with end results it counters with an endless array of possibility through color and technique.
I hope through my work that people can find solace through relation. Standing as an observer and recording my perspective in detail, as a way to process trauma and the complicated feelings that come with it. Specifically I struggle to navigate my confines of gender or even just my thoughts on it alone, for an audience . Reflection is something we do on a daily basis, it is a powerful tool in understanding ourselves. I want to show that someone is listening, someone is noticing and someone is keeping score.
