Home is a central Idea in
most of my current work. Exploring concepts such as identity,
peace, fear, loneliness, and hope continually leads me to
the fundamental human desire for a haven and a foundation
in one’s life.
I make narrative images about life experiences
and emotions that are highly personal yet thematically universal.
Through traveling, the traditions, icons,
and politics of other cultures have had enormous impact on
my visual vocabulary.
As a woman, as an artist, as an American,
as a new mother, and a new wife, I am incredibly conscious
of the power of the quest for this multi-faceted idea of home.
We are creator and inhabitant of our homes,
a condition that is sometimes heart breaking, ever humbling,
and endlessly inspiring. |
