GETTING TO KNOW YOU (2009) (click here to view) Making sense of a new place, I collected treasured ephemera from new friends. I assembled the possesions of individuals from a tightly connected group of young women in a small town. While getting to know them I noticed how unique each woman was, but together how similar they became. Really, I just wanted to be included. 123 DAYS AWAY (2008) (click here to view) On recent travels through Southeast Asia I collected objects from all the places I visited. These objects were collaged together to create a chronological representation of my journey. 123 Days Away serves as a material narrative of my travel experience. This work explores the concept of the souvenir (the travel mnemonic), and reconstructing memories once home. 123 DAYS AWAY was made in collaboration with Aaron Burton.

GLEANINGS (2007) (click here to view) Gleanings is a collaboration with my friends and family. They offer me once important ephemera now resting by bedsides, dormant on shelves and engrained into their habitats. I assemble their possessions in order to communicate the transient materiality of human experience.
CUT & PASTE (2007)(click here to view) The collages of Cut and Paste are constructed from materials collected from the everyday. These collages are scanned, creating a transition from object to reproducible photograph.
CONTAINMENTS (2007)(click here to view) Containments draws on framing devices to reflect female containment and oppression. An intuitive process is used for selection of the materials which forms a visual synthesis of contemporary culture.
DRESSING SOPHIA (2006)(click here to view) In Dressing Sophia patriarchal values of western religious ideology are subverted through the female archetype and indexical motifs within a layered media context.
COMMERCIAL WORKS BEACHCOMBING (2009) (click here to view) This year I moved to the beach. Beachcombing is part of the discovery of my new home.
