Through printmaking, photography, and textiles, my work explores themes of domesticity, recollection, and memorialization. Mining my personal archive of images, I create quilt-like objects that encapsulate moments in time. My photographs are translated onto fabric using silkscreen, etching, and woodcut. With each printing process, the original photograph becomes fragmented and information is lost—underscoring the malleability and fallibility of memory.
Influenced by traditions of vernacular photography, I adorn my works with floral surface patterns, using the flower as an allegory of life and mortality. Printing the photographs onto fabric enhances the image’s ability to provoke remembrance through the presence of touch and the body. Each step of translating an image—layering, repeating, shifting to a larger scale— simultaneously erodes and commemorates the photograph’s previous stage, mirroring the process of remembering.
