Artist Statement:STATEMENT


Involvements, circumstance
Stained, marked, touched
Worn, worn away
Moments exposed
Fragility, integrity exploited
Scuffed, bruised
Restricted, repressed
Put away

Patterns for life, instructions for living
Written down, so as not to forget

My current body of work is concerned with ideas of memory, how we carry our experiences with us. Wearing moments in time, sewn into the very fabric of our lives. Intimate garments, marked and stained, their secrets, memories exposed. Shoes scuffed, marked by experience. Corsets, crinolines restricting the body, memory restricting the mind. Paper and porcelain paperclay creating ghosts of garments, too fragile to wear, a reminder of a time, a place, a feeling. Words marking collars, armpits, sewn into linings, seams becoming integral to the recollection.

We must remember not to forget.
