Artist Statement: Like many, I am a habitual collector of pleasing things. In my free time, I have been browsing, looking for any eye-catching thing. Magazines I have never read, family photos unearthed from dusty boxes, and biology lab guides from freshman year of college all lay picked through on the living room floor. Making the compositions themselves, whether through physical cutting and pasting, or digital cutting and pasting, is an exploration of my ongoing inner monologue with myself and life. I pair images and words that make sense to me, but maybe not to others; references only I may get. My intention is to rope the viewer into an exploration of their own inner monologue by projecting themselves onto the unknown of these cut-and-paste compositions. I hope my vulnerability opens up conversation to the complexities of emotion, individuality, and the inner struggle of finding oneself in a fast-moving ambivalent world. By striking a chord within myself I hope to strike a chord within others.
