"My work confronts the notions of societal gender norms and pushes back against the notions of perfection, value, and keeping up appearances. I have been making work that directly challenges the idea of domestic bliss and the female identity. I am particularly interested in the objects of domesticity in conjunction with emptiness and decay.
I aim to obscure my materials and processes, to rid them of prescribed value. Through this material subversion, I attempt to engage the viewer with the work more fully, while lending a hand to intrigue, secrecy, and solitude."
