ARTIST STATEMENT

I am fascinated by how I emotively respond to the visual tension of fresh fabric stretched like skin over an aged, bare bones wooden frame. My work reaches to get-at-the-heart of the very fabric of the stories about grandmother and the ones she told of the old world. I’m trying to reupholster the fabric of old stories by retelling them in terms of modernism—by stripping away the old fabric and remaking them through my own inner-monologue.
