I sometimes paint and draw, but mostly I look under rocks, peel back surfaces and make things thinking about the rhythm of a community. Based in Houston, TX, my work explores the idea of traces and crevices and how they serve as metaphors for other things - erasure, loss, the passage of time, and what is seen/not seen. Constructed from everyday objects, my traces layer disparate materials to imagine a world where those hidden in the crevices become visible.
