Artist’s Statement

I create in the corridors between memories, building connections between moments using abandoned materials, that become part of disjointed structures. Creatures resembling homes teeter and perch among the memorial debris of gathered ephemera. Mazes of walls, windows, and doors dance in fragmented configurations. Light and shadow flicker between drafty hollows. Twisted slats of siding stretch and warp like memories expand and contract. Whispers shiver through overgrown ruins and I wait for each story to be told. There is relief and disappointment in the secrets that remain, those intentionally hidden and those forgotten. My work is about memory, both personal and universal. I construct homes and everyday spaces to define and capture recollections that spontaneously arise as spectral projections upon present reality, in other words, I create haunted homes.
