The idea of longing is a feeling that is difficult to recreate. My work seeks to reflect deep longings and capture fleeting moments in time. Idealized memories — narratives clouded by time, belief and imperfect perception.

My practice consists of recreating recognizable forms or images that hold scale unlike their reality. A cake that is 4" x 2" small, or a piece of paper that is distorted to be half the size of a depicted candlestick. My work depicts stylized forms that offer fine details, similar color palettes as those seen in our day-to-day life, things that go overlooked or unrecognized like a perfectly ripe strawberry, a ripped-out page of your notebook or a put-out Marlboro cigarette. These objects, so seemingly mundane, are rarely given a second glance. By reconstructing them with abundant attention and collaging them into fragmented vignettes, a story begins to unfold.
