I am interested in making connections between what is mass produced by hand and what is mass produced by machine. I am thinking about how the mind, the hand, and the machine, work with and against each other.
I am considering ways to translate the vulnerability and imperfection of the raw materials I use to make into the completed work—to recognize not only what is made, but what supports making—from the straightforward and immediate to the complex and conceptual.
In my practice, I am supported by the action of making. Through repetition, my mind connects to my hand and my hand connects to my materials, providing me with a balance of thinking and making.
