About The Artwork
We all carry with us an unspoken and often unknown history. Without trying to understand it I seek to transform it. I use family photos and letters in combination with different papers and collage materials I've saved. They all get cut, then sewed, and print on. The loop you see in this piece represents humans in an energetic way. A loop is also used in machine sewing which is what I use to compile my collages. Family and their dynamics guide my work; our ancestry, which seems precious, is continually altered by the introduction of new people into a family (marriage, adoption, divorce, children out of wedlock, etc.) Family connections are complex and at times messy. I seek to reveal the intrinsic patterns which reflect their beauty. The process lends itself to the notion that there could be healing of collective negative transferred behaviors and possibly even trauma.
