Artist Statement

It's hard to say why we remember certain things, or what makes a particular moment in time worth remembering. That time that you fell in the water canoeing, or the place where you grew up. The perfume bottle that was above your grandmother's toilet, or the concert where that one guy totally rocked. We collect experiences through our actions, as well as objects and images to remind us of them: photographs, trinkets, souvenirs that serve as a physical links between the present and the past.

In a world that is becoming more and more connected, weaving information, imagery, and experience in and out of our lives, I am interested in how the relevant moments in my life overlap and form connections with others who are living in the same system.
