My Mixed Media and Textile Work

are rituals of grief and healing from the violence of patriarchy, capitalism, and American assimilation. My work explores themes of dissociation, estrangement, generational trauma and rupture, mental health, and surviving sexual and gender trauma. As a survivor who struggles with dissociation and putting words to my silence, my art practice has been a tactile way to ground myself back in my body, bringing me back to the soft and certain movements of my own two hands. Here, I make softness where I’ve felt a lack.
