Personal Statement: We all have connection to certain objects that we are not entirely aware of because of our memories use of them to reference experiences. Though we all have different 'tabs' there are also universal ones some of which are very obvious, and others which are less so. The elements actually become invisible because of our familiarity with them and when represented alone or in an unusual context, can become visible again.
Current Work
I am working on a series using shoes to explore family relationships. They deal with things like memory, conformity and loss. The shoes continue to work as themes change, and with each new theme I am surprised at how the shoes change.
