The work of remembering is to reintegrate parts that have been lost or seemingly destroyed by a trace of memory or forgotten moment in time. Abandoned organic and human-built structures are monuments to those passing through. These domiciles are sinking eulogies of remembrances. Bits of detritus and debris give clues to the regret as well as the resilience in one's life story.  In my work, I am striving to visually recreate the act of repairing and making whole again through the alchemical process of burning out organic material in the kiln. In the spaces and materials that appear broken down and desolate, I mend and repair them as a way to transcend and heal traumatic memory. My art practice is intuitively driven by my attunement to nature and its fragile ecosystem, the cycles there, and by the need to document the process of deterioration found in biological forms and structures.  I am curious about creating forms and installations from an embodied space that both captures and documents the process of cessation. The materials I choose in my work are built around the ideas of demise and collapse in clay bodies, glass, and found objects.  Each iteration is chosen for its ability to narrate the idea of arrested decay or remembrance.
