"I use ceramics, textiles, found objects, and sound to explore the ways in which we preserve memory, collectively, and as individuals. What is remembered, why, by whom, through what means, and how does this process of preservation shape us and our descendants? I began my artistic career as a musician and singer-songwriter, writing and recording albums that explore intimate moments of loss and nostalgia. My sculptural work, haunted by the specters of fallen civilizations, considers the larger churn of history."
