ABOUT
I am an interdisciplinary artist from the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations (Vancouver, BC) who works among and in between several different media including alternative photography, print making, and hand weaving. My practice is materially based in repetition and tactile sensations.
I am fascinated by what exists in marginal or in-between spaces. My lived experience as someone navigating an intersectional life often brings me to these liminal thresholds where I combine mundane materials with complex processes. Grounded in craft traditions, scientific methods, and archival practices I focus on the outcasts and artefacts created by learning and unlearning. Using strategies of abstraction, translation, and volume to tease out material structures, I break down information, and then rearrange the resulting parts into new patterns, collections and forms. The plurality and possibility found in these in between spaces can often help bridge the differences between typical and divergent ways of being.
