STATEMENT OF WORK

My interdisciplinary practice encompasses large photo-weave constructions, written publications, collages, and video pieces. I draw on scientific research, spiritual teachings, craft, and visual imagery to explore themes of nature, dance, domesticity, and technology, aiming to restore our understanding of the environment and ourselves as relational beings. 

I use slow, deliberate processes such as in-depth research, historical references, analog photography, weaving, and painting to reimagine reality and propose models for a “New Earth.” My work is guided by science, nature, and spirituality, and often incorporates ecofeminist themes, expressing my role as a maternal caregiver and steward of the natural world. Additionally, I seek to elevate the histories and legacies of women artists as a foundation for forging new ways of being.

My large photo-weave constructions create a dialogue between the screen and the loom, connecting shaped analog large-format black-and-white gelatin silver prints or color C-prints mounted on aluminum with handmade weavings. My smaller works include drawings and collages that integrate photographs with weavings. The curvy, body-like dunes signify aridity and reflect an ecofeminist perspective on the mistreatment of both nature and women within patriarchal systems.

My work is rooted in photography and ways to expand the outlines of what the medium constitutes, particularly through its intersections with craft and functionality. My current work presents analog large-format photos created with a 4x5 camera and printed on silver gelatin paper, combined with weaves I create as responses to the photos. This work examines photography's relationship to other forms of making, as well as its functionality and agency in today’s reality.
