Statement
My work explores storytelling as a foundational component of women’s work; I position mothers as household narrators whose stories create familial experience within domestic spaces. Through this “narrative labor,” women necessarily place themselves in proximity to trauma and mental illness. I make drawings, sculptures, animations, and sound compositions that explore the transformative and disorienting power of stories to raise children, create intimacy, and maintain relationships. Through my work I search for ways to replicate and honor the work of my mother and my mother’s mother while remaining keenly aware of its cost.
