Reconstructed Narratives

This series explores the fracture and reconstruction of narrative through the medium of collage. Rooted in the mining of personal history from emotionally significant events, I excavate story through parallel tracks of written and visual responses exposing the vulnerabilities of truth-telling. The results provide a kaleidoscopic lens through which the viewer may recognize pieces of their own life experiences, either through fractal aspects or the entirety of the work.

I tear paper and affix it to a surface, extracting resonant elements while remaining free from outcome-dependent expectations. From the fragmentation of the surrounding world, I construct wholeness. The intersection of these fractures and collisions create relevant moments of access for each viewer. Interest lies in the implied truths that hover at the edge of consciousness. The development of this process is informed by my dual Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Studio Arts.
