Artist Statement
Each of us is a complex compilation of histories, relationships, lived experience and decisions: a patchwork. The visual metaphor of our patchwork selves combined with the rich history of patchwork around the world and throughout history are the foundation of my artistic practice. My work is inspired by the visual patterns and rhythms that structure our daily lives and by the psychology of decision-making, self-awareness and environmental sustainability. I employ crowd-sourcing and community involvement to inform, inspire and guide my visual work. Through the lens of patchwork I seek to explore who we are, why we are and how we change.
