Statement

My work uses the language of pattern and surface to chart the domestic and intimate. By designing and producing my own wallpapers, I turn ornament into archive. Every pattern I make is a story, a journal entry, a moment in time. Like the pattern drawn from highlighter pens during my brief stint at a desk job; the pattern I made as a fashion designer; or the pattern I drew from the schefflera I inherited from my grandmother. These patterns get used and reused constantly. This narrative is cyclical, its own pattern repeating. I paint on walls and make paintings that are made to be hung on walls then make wallpapers from installations of paintings on walls. My work is always in motion, looking forward and backward, inward and outward. 

I work with collage, paper, paint and ink. Wallpapers and patterns are layered on top of each other, then ripped away. This process is one of hiding and revealing. As I work textures shift - slick with rough, delicate with graphic, handmade with digital - so that no single technique is dominant. Everything is smashed together. This collision creates new and unexpected moments. I pack as much information into each piece as possible. 

Since becoming a mother in 2022, my work has further focused on how homes accumulate meaning. Our interiors are embedded with care, absence, and continuity. I often repurpose patterns from my own household, moving private material into public view. Everything in my life is up for grabs. I play with design vs. art, digital vs. handmade, and painting vs. installation. I work to blur, confuse, and eradicate these distinctions.
