Artist's Statement
My work portrays my personal narrative based on learning experiences during my travels, interpretations associated with synesthesia, and reactions to emotionally charged moments in my life. I utilize various mediums including performance, digitally fabricated objects, acrylic paint, watercolor, fiber, acrylic sheet, and photography.
Wearable art, whether as functional pieces or components to a performance, allows me to become part of the visual representation and to step into a memory again. When it is off my body, viewers envision themselves wearing the pieces and experience a narrative in a personal way through their own perspective.
