I am a hoarder. I collect objects, ephemera, and detritus, traces of life; and interrogate and examine them to uncover the stories I am searching for. The discarded become sacred through the ritual of my obsessive scrutiny and subsequent documentation. I am interested in the intersection of trauma and transcendence in the moment when one becomes or moves towards the other. I aim to create work that gives form to the stories we can’t find the words for, to make the unspeakable tangible.
