Art is hungry. It’s all-consuming. It exists with the intention of existing. So when I ask myself, “how is this art?”, I answer, “because it must.”

Like the tailor trims a jacket, I approach my work with an intense focus on craft and material. Blending seamstress and sculptor, fabric is innately feminine, domestic and nostalgic, inseparable from the history of women’s labor. Incredibly malleable, a skin stretched across complex ideas—it is able to reflect back through soft familiarity both the gravity of the concepts I dec and the morbid comedy within them. Through textiles, my art becomes an entity on its own, an idea in three dimensions and a tribute to the feminine existence stitched in thread.
