My practice works to draw inspiration from quiet landscapes and mundane settings that I reflect on. I work with sight specific locations that hold weight in my mind. I use a narrative language to tell a story of what exists between the landscape and a place. Sometimes text makes its way into the prints to reinforce this sense of storytelling.
These latest works are in correspondence with my grandmother through letters and phone conversations. This series is an interweaving of our stories to create a multi-generational collage. This work has formed together to create a body of work that is formed through research, conversation, text and the learned experiences that are passed between generations.
