This series investigates our absurd relationship to “stuff”, ownership & possession, and our identities as mindless consumers. Each sculpture explores themes and emotions relating to home, the human body, comfort, and security. I utilized found materials that were once intended to create comfort in a home such as old bedsheets, found discarded housewares, and leftover construction materials from a house remodel.

Artist Statement
Utilizing embroidery, mixed media, everyday materials, and secondhand textiles, my work is centered around time consuming processes that explore the invisible themes of labor, time, waste, and gender that are embedded within the fabric of our capitalist society.
I fully immerse myself in the physicality of a material and create not only a meditative practice in my process, but also an end product that illustrates this approach. By manipulating a material through repetition and multiplication, I create visually stimulating textures, biomorphic forms, and playful color stories that are reminiscent of the patterns, feelings, and moments we collectively find in nature. My work is an abstract exploration of consumerism and how it is connected to our relationship with our bodies, homes, and planet.
