    About the Book

    Edit

    A series of memory vignettes collected as journal entries
    are the stimulus for my studio practice. My studio practice
    draws from and combines a variety of mediums including
    performance, video installation, sound installation, photography,
    and stop motion animation. The use of combined
    media offers a blending of time and space in an effort to
    record cyclical rituals and alters to the past, an unveiling
    of hidden layers of the mind. My narrative is built on an
    image of myself constructed from memories—records with
    no visual markers. Using the language of combined media
    I construct something tangible out of the intangible. This
    process is an act of resolve, propelled by a desire for stability
    and an expanded vision of self. Persistent and recurring
    imagery and themes—oral telling, inversion, the body,
    prognostication, trauma, and lineage—are enmeshed with
    a deep personal need to find a voice for something inside
    me that desperately wanted to speak but was somehow
    unable to.
