Through landscape and memento, my work explores the physicality of grief and the poignancy of multilocal life. What is a ghost, really, but the shadow of someone you loved and lost? Is there a cure for homesickness when you’re already home? I use painting and drawing, along with sewing and sculptural techniques, to consider these questions, choosing materials for their contrast and emotional weight.
