Mix Media
My collage practice explores fragmentation, layering, and the reassembly of images as a way of constructing new meaning. By cutting, arranging, and recombining found materials, I create compositions that reflect the fluid nature of memory, identity, and cultural history. I am drawn to the tension between what is revealed and what is obscured, allowing fragments to suggest multiple narratives. Through layering and juxtaposition, familiar forms become recontextualized, inviting viewers to reconsider how images carry meaning across time. Collage allows me to work intuitively, building visual relationships between texture, pattern, and form while creating spaces where past and present intersect and evolve.
My work in woodcut and lithography explores the relationship between gesture, pressure, and surface. Both processes require direct physical engagement with material, allowing the body’s movement to remain visible within the image. In woodcut, carving becomes an act of removal and revelation, where the grain of the wood shapes texture and contrast. Lithography offers a more fluid mark, capturing tonal shifts and gestural drawing. Moving between these mediums allows me to explore tension between structure and spontaneity. Through layered patterns and symbolic forms, my prints reference textiles, architecture, and ceremonial design, using repetition and variation to investigate memory, material presence, and cultural inheritance.
Prints
Ceramics within my practice explores material memory, ritual, and cultural inheritance through form and process. Working with clay allows a direct engagement with touch and time, where shaping, carving, and firing record the gestures of the body. Vessels and sculptural forms move between the functional and symbolic, reflecting how objects can carry history, labor, and cultural meaning. Surface patterns and textures often reference architectural fragments, textiles, and ceremonial design, creating visual links to shared histories. Through these forms, clay becomes a living archive—holding traces of process, transformation, and lineage—while the kiln completes the work, fixing these gestures into enduring yet fragile structures.
