I am interested in the intersection between embodied experience and social structures. My newest series, Family History, is a meditation on illness, caregiving, and the experience of navigating the broken healthcare system. In Turn, I re-enact the motion of turning someone over in bed using a blanket, an action that had to be repeated every two hours throughout the night. In this series I use self-portraiture as a way to reconstruct memory. The process of layering and sanding away these images, produced through over thirty layers of screenprint, mimics the simultaneous clarity and intangibility of these memories.
