Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Absorbed by the effort and ultimate fruitlessness of memory, I invest in the connections between memory, trauma and domestic spaces. My work deifies tangible objects representative of the pain and joy contained in our ability to remember. My work is an entry point to vivid narratives strewn with a quiet urgency; a profound need to venerate the residue of the past. I work sculpturally with predominantly textile, glass, clay, metal, and stone, among a wide variety of other sculptural materials. I reinterpret personal histories to reconcile the relationship between being in the world and remembering it. My sculptures make solid the ethereal fibers of the sensation of remembering. Utilizing domestic spaces and familiar objects as points of entry, I interrogate the way place can stain us.
