The interplay and juxtaposition of the elegant with the banal is at the core of my practice. I set parameters for dealing with the concept of time and fragments of memory that take form, embed, and manifest themselves within a material physicality. At times there is an impulse to let the materials breathe—to fold, fall, and crease—while at others there is a desire to suffocate and contain them. My process involves a performative aspect of unveiling and concealing.
