I assemble sculptural installations from the dismembered remains of older artworks. The turbulence of creation is implicit in the materials, which are subjected to labor intensive processes of eradication. Retaining residual marks, rips and holes from their preceding incarnations, the fragments are woven into forms that dissolve into nebulous clouds of color and texture. My process is both destructive and rehabilitative, involving deforming, unraveling and burning maps and wires into damaged parts that I repair with thread and regenerate with vibrant colors. Teetering between growth and disintegration, the constructions are like life, messy and chaotic in a constant state of transition.

There is a richly embroidered understory that comes with making something and then unmaking it. The act of destructing in order to create is fully embedded in my process and part of what my work speaks to in the beauty of imperfection and impermanence. I see the fragment as an interrupted story. Broken forms enable a way in, to be submerged inside what is typically concealed. Centering on what is erased and covered over, the works are loud and quiet at the same time, empowered through color emerging from interior darkness.
