My arts practice gives voice to the personal and discursive processes that are part of the complexities of subjectivity.

I gather ordinary objects like worn clothing, envelopes, bandaids and hair to acknowledge their materiality and the history and memories of their usage. I manipulate the objects through assemblage, sewing, scanning and impressing into surfaces to print using intaglio and digital media. The prints produced transform these objects into imagery that is concerned with the sensory experience of texture, pattern and surface to explore the memories and experiences negotiated as a living, social body. Recent work uses die form technology to cut the paper and give added meaning through the fusion of shape and image in a three dimensional context. The sequencing of page and text record the repetition and richness of the everyday, like a series of diaries.

Through the various processes of printmedia the textured surfaces function as an analogy to these lived experiences being inscribed into the living body like traces of wrinkles and scars upon my skin.
