Things We Carry
The concept for this series derives from ancient myths and sagas, which I believe are part of the collective human history. To observe these myths and rituals various traditions use masks. I have replaced the mask with animal remnants to develop and symbolize psychological and mythological meaning.

Intimate Stranger
Intimate Stranger is paradoxical; the tension of opposites. To hold these diametric opposites and dismantle their perceptions and projections, are my intentions with this series. The capacity to hold and reflect on the depth of shadow is where this work originates.
The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, Kintsugi, honors the breakage and repair of the vessel, which in turn presents the work whole and beautiful, rather than something to discard. My focus is to create personal emancipation and to provide a sanctuary for the sensitivity of the soul, and to evoke a third expression to bring forth a new form from these opposing tensions.
