Artist Statement
My work oscillates among drawing, crochet, quilting, and soft sculpture. These material investigations swirl in a vortex with personal interconnectivity as its center of gravity. Subjects like the apocalypse, confession, keeping your fingers warm, pissing your pants, cartoon gore, body/mind confusion, awkward conversations, the inability to communicate anything that’s really true to other people, work and labor, and what to do with your baby teeth are all approached from a firmly personal perspective. I want to sink into the void. I want to be part of a collective that has its own internal logic. I want feel like one in a massive sea of many. But whenever I make art these desires are channeled through my silly subjectivity. What comes out is an attempt to find a place for art making among all the other kinds of making getting done by all the other people in the massive sea.
